Hello!

I have come across a question in my maths calculator paper that is quite confusing as it doesnt have any values for the tangent point or radius.

The question is:

A circle C has equation x² + y² = r²

The point A with coordinates (p,q) lies on C.

Show that the tangent to C at A hqs equation qy + px = r²

i dont know if this is really simple and i cant do this topic or if this is actually hard... so please help!!
