a circle has its center on the line 3x-2y-22=0 and tangent to the y-axis at (0,1). Find its equation
--------------------
Tangent at (0,1) --> its center is also on the line y = 1
Find the intersection of the 2 lines, that's the center
3x-2y-22=0
y = 1
3x = 24
x = 8
Center at (8,1)
------
r is the distance from the y-axis = 8
