Question: The equation of the circle which touches both axes and whose centre is \(\left( x _ { 1 } , y _ { 1 ...
The equation of the circle which touches both axes and whose centre is (x1,y1) is.
A
x2+y2+2x1(x+y)+x12=0
B
x2+y2−2x1(x+y)+x12=0
C
x2+y2=x12+y12
D
x2+y2+2xx1+2yy1=0
Answer
x2+y2−2x1(x+y)+x12=0
Explanation
Solution
The equation will be
(x−x1)2+(y−y1)2=r2
As the circle touches both the axes,
x1=y1=r
∴ (x−x1)2+(y−x1)2=x12 ⇒ x2+y2−2x1(x+y)+x12=0.
