Wen it intersects at one point its called a tangent.... see the definition of tangent frst.
Then we equate discriminant to 0
Wen it does not touch discriminant is less than zero
wen it touches at two points it is greater than 0

No swt hrt i did not. And sweety a tangent intersect a curve at one point
Wen it intersects at one point its called a tangent.... see the definition of tangent frst.
Then we equate discriminant to 0
Wen it does not touch discriminant is less than zero
wen it touches at two points it is greater than 0

Hmm yeah.. that makes sense. I was wrong about the tangent thingy.. sorry!
Thanks a lot for your help..

(x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2/2 = the mid-point i.e., m
(-8+x2)/2, (0+y2)/2 =(4,6)

(-8+x2)/2 =4
-8+x2 = 8
x2 = 8+8
x2=16


(0+y2)/2 = 6
0+y2 = 12
y2=12

Therefore coordinates of C are (16,12)
