The equation of the circle passing through (3, 6) and whose centre is (2, -1) is:
- Ax2 + y2 - 4x + 3y = 45
- Bx2 + y2 - 4x + 2y - 45 = 0
- Cx2 + y2 + 4x - 2y = 45
- Dx2+ y2 - 4x + 2y + 45 = 0
- x2 + y2 - 4x + 2y - 45 = 0
Solution:
(x - 2)2 + (y + 1)2 + r2 (3, 6). lies on it
⇒ 1 + 49 = r2
⇒ r2= 50
⇒ x2 + 4 - 4x + y2 + 1 + 2y = 50.
⇒ x2 + y2 - 4x + 2y - 45 = 0
