A circle touches both the y -axis and the line x + y = 0 . Then the locus of its center

A circle touches both the y-axis and the line x+y=0. Then the locus of its center
  1. y=2x
  2. x=2y..
  3. y2-x2=2xy
  4. x2y2=2xy

Solution

 

Plotting the diagram of given data we have,

Now to find locus, let centre be h,k. According to question

OM=ON distance 

h=h+k2

squaring both sides we get

2h2=h+k2  

2h2=h2+k2+2hk

Replacing h with x & k with y we get

2x2=x2+y2+2xy

x2y2=2xy
