Quadratic Functions, Equations and Inequalities - Nature of Roots of Quadratic Equations

It is given that the point \(P\left( -5,7 \right)\) lies on the circle \({{y}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}-ay+2x=8\), where \(a\) is a constant.

  1. Find the value of \(a\).
  2. Find the radius and the centre of the circle.
  3. It is given that the point \(Q\) lies on the circle such that \(PQ\) is the diameter of the circle. Find the equation of the line \(PQ\).

The graph of \(4y=-{{x}^{2}}+bx+9\) intersects \(PQ\) at \(2\) distinct points.

  1. Find the range of possible values of \(b\).
