The circle with equation \((x+1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 85\) and the straight line with equation \(y = 3x - 20\) are shown in the diagram. The line intersects the circle at \(A\) and \(B\), and the centre of the circle is at \(C\).
(a) Find, by calculation, the coordinates of \(A\) and \(B\).
(b) Find an equation of the circle which has its centre at \(C\) and for which the line with equation \(y = 3x - 20\) is a tangent to the circle.
