Homework Statement
A circle has the parametric equations:
x=1+2cos\theta
y=3+2sin\theta
dy/dx= -1/tan\theta
Find the tangent equation at the point with parameter \theta
Homework Equations
y-y1=m(x-x1)
The Attempt at a Solution
I've tried putting dy/dx in as the gradient and then x1 and y1 as the parametric equations but i seem to come up with some really long equation that I am sure isn't right.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
