Problem 159
Official solution
When the slope of line does not exist, the equation of line is ,
By solving the system of equations , we get A(1, ) and B(1, ),
In this case, , which holds true;
When the slope of line exists, let the equation of line be , which simplifies to ,
The center of the circle is O(0, 0) with radius ,
The distance from the center of the circle to line is ,
Since ,
By using the formula , we get ,
Solving this gives . Therefore, the equation of line is .
Thus, the equation of line is either or .
Hence, the answer is: .
