you want a tangent line with slope = 1/2
x^2+y^2 = 20
2x + 2yy' = 0
y' = -x/y
For the tangent line, you want a point on the circle where y = -2x
for the normal, you want 2y = x
x^2+y^2 = 20
2x + 2yy' = 0
y' = -x/y
For the tangent line, you want a point on the circle where y = -2x
for the normal, you want 2y = x
