Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Given equation of circle
Let the coordinates of Q is .
Coordinate of B which is midpoint of AQ because .
Then, the equation of circle.(x+2)^2+(y-3)^2=4\left(\frac{h}{2}+2\right)^2+\left(\frac{k+3}{2}-3\right)^2=4\frac{(h+4)^2}{4}+\frac{(k-3)^2}{4}=4(h+4)^2+(k-3)^2=16(h, k)(x, y)(x+4)^2+(y-3)^2=16
