Correct answer: C
- Equation of the tangent line and distance from center
The given line is
The circle has center and radius .
Since the line touches the circle, the perpendicular distance from the center to the line equals the radius: because .
So,
- Use the condition
Substitute :
Factor out :
Now,
Hence,
Therefore,
So,
Then
So,
Thus:
- since
- since
- Find the point of contact
The tangent line has slope , so the radius to the point of contact is perpendicular to it and has slope
The radius passes through the center , so its equation is that is,
The point of contact lies on both this line and the tangent line .
So solve: Multiply by : Then
Hence,
So,
- Find the diametrically opposite point
The center is the midpoint of diameter . Let Since midpoint of and is ,
From these,
Thus,
So,
- Final matching
Therefore the correct matching is:
This corresponds to Option C.
