Question

Find the equation of the circle which cuts the circle x2 + y2 + 5x + 7y – 4 = 0 orthogonally, has its centre on the line x = 2 and passes through the point (4, –1).

Solution

Correct option is

x2 + y2 – 4x + 2y + 1 = 0

 

Let the required circle be

                 x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0                     …(1)

Since (4, –1) lie on (1) then

                 17 + 8g – 2f + c = 0                               …(2)

Centre of (1) is (–g, –f)

Since centre line on x = 2

Then                                 –g = 2 

∴                                         g = –2                          …(3)

From (2),               1 – 2f + c = 0                            …(4)

And given circle is 

                        x2 + y2 + 5x + 7y – 4 = 0                 …(5)

given the circles (1) and (5) cut each other orthogonally,  

  

  

                  

Solving (4) and (6), we get

                  = 1 and c = 1  

Substituting the values of gfc in (1), we get 

               x2 + y2 – 4x + 2y + 1 = 0
