The length of the chord of the circle x²+y²+3 x+2 y-8=0 intercepted by the y -axis is
Options
- A3
- B8
- C9
- D6
Correct answer
D. 6
Step-by-step solution
Given equation of circle is x²+y²+3 x+2 y-8=0 On comparing with array r x²+y²+2 g x+2 f y+c=0, we get g= 3 2 , f=1 and c=-8 array Now, intercept made by y -axis aligned &=2 f²-c &=2 (1)²-(-8) &=2 1+8 =2 9 &=2 3=6 aligned
