- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Given circle
The circle is
Rewrite it in standard form:
So its center is and radius is .
-
Find the points of intersection with the line
Substitute into the circle equation:
Hence,
Since , the intersection points are:
-
Equation of circle with as diameter
If and are endpoints of a diameter, then the circle is given by
Using and :
Expanding:
-
Match with options
This is exactly: which is Option D.
-
Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: D
Our derived answer: D
So they agree.
