To solve the problem, we need to find the range of the slope \( m \) for which the line \( PQ \) passing through the point \( (4, 1) \) intersects the circle defined by the points \( A(-1, 0) \) and \( B(3, 0) \) at two points such that \( AB \) subtends a right angle at those points. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Find the Equation of the Circle:** The points \( A(-1, 0) \) and \( B(3, 0) \) define the diameter of the circle. The center of the circle \( C \) is the midpoint of \( AB \): \[ C\left(\frac{-1 + 3}{2}, \frac{0 + 0}{2}\right) = (1, 0) ...
