isn’t the answer 2 coordinates
Wait that is the illustration
so basically you need to differentiate x^2 + y^2 = 10
After you get the dy/dx lets say i got 1/2(-x^2+10)^1/2
Then you put the -1 into the dy/dx to get the gradient
After you get the gradient you should get 1/6 then you use m1 x m2 = -1 which equals to -6
So the -6 will be your new gradient for the two new tangent
