Question 1085762: what is the equation of this line?
question: find the equations of the line described.
tangent lines to x²+y²-18x-2y+48=0 at points where x=4

im solving it using x²+y²-18y-2y+48=0
at x=4
my solution (trying)
P(4,y)
(4)²+y²-18(4)-2y+48=0
16+y²-72-2y+48=0
=y²+2y
=y(y+2)=0
y=0 | y+2=0 y=-2
is it right?
P(4,0) Q(4,-2) is it right?
x²+y²-18x-2y+48=0
(x²-18x)+(y²-2y)= -48
is it right? now i dont know whats next. please correct me if im wrong.

4%5E2-18%284%29%2By%5E2-2y%2B48=0
16-72%2By%5E2-2y%2B48=0
y%5E2-2y-8=0 <--- Addition error on the constant
%28y-4%29%28y%2B2%29=0
y=4 and y=-2
