Correct answer: 100
- The circle is
So its center is
and its radius is
- The circle touches the line
If it touches this line at point , then the radius to the point of contact is perpendicular to the line.
Also, lies on the line and its distance from the origin is .
Let
Then its distance from origin is
Given this equals ,
So possible points are
- Since , the center lies in the first quadrant. The radius at the point of contact must be along the normal to the line , whose direction is .
From , moving in direction enters the first quadrant, while from it does not give both coordinates positive for the center at distance .
Hence,
- A unit normal vector to the line is
Since radius , the vector from to center is
Therefore,
So,
- Hence,
Therefore, the required integer is
- Comparison with stored answer: Stored correct answer = . Our derived answer is also , so they agree.
