Answer the whole of question 11(b) on a piece of graph paper.

11. (a) Given that the equation of a circle is x 2  y 2  10 x  8 y  25  0 ,

determine whether the point  2 , 3 is inside, outside or on the circle.

b are constants.
(i) Express the equation in a form suitable for drawing a straight line
and state the variables whose values should be plotted. [2]

(ii) Using these variables, plot on a graph paper the points

corresponding to the values obtained from the table. Hence, state
the value of y that has been recorded incorrectly. [3]
