R(-2,4) and S (6,–2) are the endpoints of the diameter of a circle K. Obtain a. The equation of the circle K in general form b. The length of the tangents from the point (2,-8) to the circle K. 3 c. Show that line y =-x-18 does not intersect circle K. Hence, find the 2 shortest distance between the line and the circle.
