Can I have whole qn? I think there are info I need before I can check iii. Part iv you just have to use the formula to rewrite the given eqn into the centre-radius form and check if the x-coordinate is the negative of that of C₁. If yes then the answer is yes, if it isn't it's not.

Actually I didn't need your pic I was under the impression that you haven't learned calculus.

About part iv, I forgot about one more condition which is the radii must be equal also.

Another way to get the equation of the perpendicular bisector :

Equation of circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Substitute (4,2) and (10,8)

(4 - h)² + (2 - k)² = r²
(10 - h)² + (8 - k)² = r²

So (4 - h)² + (2 - k)² = (10 - h)² + (8 - k)² = r²

16 - 8h + h² + 4 - 4k + k² = 100 - 20h + h² + 64 - 16k + k²

12h + 12k = 144
h + k = 12

k = 12 - h

Let k = y and h = x,
y = 12 - x

This is the equation of the perpendicular bisector, which passes through the centre (h,k)
