Let a circle passing through have its centre at the point . Let be the point of intersection of the lines and . If and , then the equation of the circle is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Find the intersection point of
Subtract the first equation from the second:
For , divide by :
-
Substitute into :
Then
-
Take limits as :
So the centre of the circle is
-
Use that the circle passes through .
Radius squared:
Hence the circle is
-
Expand:
Bring all terms to one side:
Multiply by :
-
Match with options: This is Option B.
Therefore, the equation of the circle is
