Coordinate Geometry - Finding the Centre and Radius of a Circle

The point \(A\left( 1,0 \right)\) lies on the circle \({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+kx+6y+9=0\), where \(k\) is a constant.

Find

  1. the value of \(k\).
  2. the centre and radius of the circle.
  3. the coordinates of \(B\) where \(AB\) is the diameter of the circle.
