If a circle passes through the points (0,0),(0, y) , then the coordinates of its centre are

Options

  1. A( -x 2 , y 2 )
  2. B( x 2 , y 2 )
  3. C( -x 2 , -y 2 )
  4. D( x 2 , -y 2 )

Correct answer

B. ( x 2 , y 2 )

Step-by-step solution

Let (h, k) be the centre of circle aligned & ( h -0)^2+( k -0)^2 = ( h - x )^2+( k -0)^2 = ( h -0)^2+( k - y )^2 & h ^2+ k ^2=( h - x )^2+ k ^2 = h ^2+( k - y )^2 & -2 hx + y ^2=0 x ( x -2 ~h )=0 and & -2 ky + y ^2=0 and y ( y -2 k )=0 & x =0,2 ~h and y =0,2 k & x =2 ~h and y =2 k , h = x 2 , k = y 2 aligned

A circle touches both the coordinate axes and the straight line L 4 x +3 y -6=0 in the first quadrant. If this circle lies below the line L =0 , then the equation of that circle is 2025If the smallest circle through the points of intersection of x^2+y^2=a^2 and x +y =p, 0 < p < a is x^2+y^2-a^2+ (x +y -p)=0 then = 2025If the lines 3 x-4 y+4=0 and 6 x-8 y-7=0 are the tangents to the same circle, then the area of that circle (in sq.units) is 2025Circles are drawn through the point (2,0) to cut intercepts of length 5 units on the X -axis.
