Equation of the straight line which meets the circle x 2 + y 2 = 8 at two points where these points are at a distance of 2 units from the point A 2 , 2 is
Options
- Ax + y = 2
- Bx + y = 3
- Cx + y = 1
- Dx + y = 0
Correct answer
B. x + y = 3
Step-by-step solution
Equation of circle assuming A 2 , 2 as centre and radius equal to 2 units is x - 2 2 + y - 2 2 = 2 2 … 1 equation of given circle is x 2 + y 2 = 8 … 2 equation 2 – equation 1 gives 4 x + 4 y - 8 = 4 ⇒ x + y = 3 which is the required equation
