Two circles centered at (2,3) and (4,5) intersects each other. If their radii are equal, then the equation of the common chord is
Options
- Ax+y+1=0
- Bx+y-1=0
- Cx+y-7=0
- Dx+y+7=0
Correct answer
C. x+y-7=0
Step-by-step solution
Equation of common chord is S₁-S₂=0 , where S₁ and S₂ are equations of the circles aligned & [( x -2)^2+( y -3)^2 ]- [( x -4)^2+( y -5)^2 ]=0 & -4 x +4-6 y +9+8 x -16+10 y -25=0 & 4 x +4 y -28=0 x + y =7 aligned
