Question

 

Find the equation of the diameter of the circle

x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 which corresponds to the chord ax = by + d= 0.

Solution

Correct option is

bx – ay + bg – af = 0

 

The diameter of circle passes through the centre of the circle and perpendicular to the chord ax + by + d = 0 is  

                           bx – ay + λ = 0                          …(1)

which passes through centre of circle i.e., (–g, –f)

From (1), the equation of the diameter is

            bx – ay + bg – af = 0
