If one end of the diameter of x 2 + y 2 - 2 x - 6 y - 15 = 0 is 4 , 1 , then the co-ordinates of the other…

If one end of the diameter of x2+y2-2x-6y-15=0 is 4,1, then the co-ordinates of the other end is
  1. (5,-2)
  2. (-2,5)
  3. 1,3
  4. -2,-5

Solution

Given: The equation of the circle is

 x2+y2-2x-6y-15=0

x-12+y-32-25=0

So the centre of the circle is 1,3 and its radius is 5.

We know that the centre is mid-point of the diameter.

Also one end of the diameter is 4,1 and let other end be a,b.

By mid point formula, 

1=a+42 and 3=b+12

a=-2 and b=5

So the other end of the diameter is -2, 5.
