Question

Find the equation of the circle whose diameter is the line joining the points (–4, 3) and (12, –1). Find also the intercept made by it on y-axis.

    easy

Solution

Correct option is

 

Equation of circle having (–4, 3) and (12, –1) as the ends of a diameter is

                      (x + 4) (x – 12) + (y – 3) (y + 1) = 0

Comparing (1) with standard equation of circle

                   x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0  

  

Intercept on y-axis
