From a point P (x1 , y1 ), tangents PA and PB are drawn to the circle x2 +y2 +2gx +2fy +c = 0
If P' and Q' are mid points of PA and PB respectively, find the equation of P'Q'.

this problem consists of four small steps:
1)finding the equation of AB
2)finding M(the intersection point of AB and OP)
3)finding the mid point of PM
4)finding the equation of P'Q'
every step is a short step.
in the first step, let A be (x,y) and C be centre of OP. AC=CP completes first step
infourth step, slope and a point are known.
answer comes out to be x(x1+g)+y(y1+f)=PA/2

If c9-g,-f) is centre of circle, First take c(-g,-f) Then the middle point of CP, which is P' [(x1-g)/2,(y1-f)/2] now the equation of PQ is the x = (x of the point P') So, the equation is x=(x1-g)/2. So, 2x- x1+g=0

LINE JOINING P'Q' IS PARALLEL TO CHORD OF CONTACT EQN OF CHORD OF CONTACT IS xx'+yy'+g(x+x')+f(y+y')+c=0 =) x(x'+g)+y(y'+f)+gx'+fy'+c=0 :.P'Q'= x(x'+g)+y(y'+f)+k=0

LINE JOINING P'Q' IS PARALLEL TO CHORD OF CONTACT equation of chord of contact is :- xx'+yy'+g(x+x')+f(y+y')+c=0  x(x'+g)+y(y'+f)+gx'+fy'+c=0 so the slope of the P'Q' will be = -(x'+g)/(y'+f) centre C=(-g,-f) as the mid -point ((-g+x')/2,(-f+y')/2)of the line joining CP lies on the line P'Q' thus the eqn of P'Q' will be by point-slope form 2x(x'+g)+2y(y'+f)+g^2+f^2-x'^2-y'^2=0 thats the answer

LINE JOINING P'Q' IS PARALLEL TO CHORD OF CONTACT equation of chord of contact is :- xx'+yy'+g(x+x')+f(y+y')+c=0  x(x'+g)+y(y'+f)+gx'+fy'+c=0 now we can find the  distance of chord of contact to point P. from similiarity of triangle we will find that the  distance of P'Q' from P will be half of distance of chord of contact to point P. so distance from P'Q' to P can be known. now we know slope of P'Q' & distance between both parrallel lines so slope is known & parallel distance is known so we can find the eqn. of P'Q' .
