Find two points on the circle x2 + y2 = 8 such that the slope of the
radius from (0, 0) to each point is 1.
--------------
It's obvious that the 2 points are on the diameter at an angle of 45 degs with the x-axis.
----------------
Doing it the long way:
The tangent lines are perpendicular to the diameter.
The slope of the tangent lines at the 2 point is the negative inverse = -1
-----
The slope of the tangent line at any point on the circle is -x/y
----
-x/y = -1
x = y
-----
x^2 + y^2 = 8
x^2 + x^2 = 8
x^2 = 4
x = � 2
--> (2,2) and (-2,-2)
