Default Tangent Line

I'm taking a calculus pre-test but I forgot how to calculate tangent lines to a point.

Let's say there are two tangent lines from point (0,1) to the circle (x^2)+ (y+1)^2=1
Find equations of these two lines by the fact that each tangent line intersects the circle in exactly one point.
