Question

The centre of the circle S = 0 lie on the line 2x – 2y + 9 = 0 and S = 0 cuts orthogonally the circle x2 + y2 = 4. Show that circle S = 0 passes through two fixed points and find their co-ordinates.

Solution

Correct option is

(–4, 4) or 

 

Let circle be 

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

Since centre of this circle (–g, –f) lie on 2x – 2y + 9 = 0 

And the circle S = 0 and x2 + y2 – 4 = 0 cuts orthogonally.

Substituting the values of g and c from (2) and (3) in (1), then

              x2 + y2 + (2f + 9)x + 2fy + 4 = 0 

or          (x2 + y2 + 9x + 4) + 2f (x + y) = 0 

hence the circle S = 0 passes through fixed point (  

  

After solving we get (–4, 4) or
