y=mx+c ...(1)  x^2 +y^2 =a^2 ...(2)   put the value of y in eq^n  2,  x^2 + (mx+c)^2 =a^2   ⇒ x^2 (1+m^2 )+2mcx+c^2 −a^2 =0  D=0 as line touches the circle ,  ⇒ b^2 −4ac=0  ⇒b^2 =4ac  ⇒4m^2 c^2 =4(1+m^2 )(c^2 −a^2 )  ⇒ c^2 =a^2 (1+m^2 ).

$${y}={mx}+{c}\:...\left(\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} ={a}^{\mathrm{2}} ...\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\: \\ $$$${put}\:{the}\:{value}\:{of}\:{y}\:{in}\:{eq}^{{n}} \:\mathrm{2}, \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\:\left({mx}+{c}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} ={a}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{1}+{m}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)+\mathrm{2}{mcx}+{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −{a}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${D}=\mathrm{0}\:{as}\:{line}\:{touches}\:{the}\:{circle}\:, \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{b}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{ac}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{b}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{4}{ac} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{4}{m}^{\mathrm{2}} {c}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{4}\left(\mathrm{1}+{m}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)\left({c}^{\mathrm{2}} −{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{c}^{\mathrm{2}} ={a}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{1}+{m}^{\mathrm{2}} \right). \\ $$
