Find the linear equation y = m*x + n tangent to a point P(x1, y1) on a circle.

The equation of a circle with center coordinates (a, b) and radius r is:

(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2

Since the line passing through the center O of the circle and a point P on the circle and the tangent line passing through the point P are orthogonal, the slope m of the tangent line is as follows.

m = -(x1-a)/(y1-b)

Since the tangent line passes through the point P, the equation of the tangent line is:

y-y1 = (-(x1-a)/(y1-b))*(x-x1)

y = -((x1-a)/(y1-b))*x + y1+(x1-a)*x1/(y1-b)

Thus,

n = y1+(x1-a)*x1/(y1-b)
