lets assume the tangent to be: 3x-4y=c

then we have distance from centre to this line is equal to radius.

apply this and get the value of c

Thank you ... yes..
well one bad soln.. is putting y = (3x - c)/4 into the eqn. of the circle and putting D = 0 nd finally c... well urs is the best one... !!
