If $L_1$ represents the radical axis of circles $x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y+5=0$ and $x^2+y^2-2 x-4 y-1=0$ and $L_2$ represents the radical axis of $x^2+y^2+2 x+2 y-7=0$ and $x^2+y^2+x+y+9=0$, then
  1. $L_1$ is parallel to $L_2$.
  2. $L_1$ is perpendicular to $L_2$.
  3. $L_1$ and $L_2$ intersect at an angle $30^{\circ}$.
  4. $L_1$ and $L_2$ intersect at $(1,7)$.

Solution

Circles $\rightarrow x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y+5=0 \quad \ldots\left(S_1\right)$ and $x^2+y^2-2 x-4 y-1=0$ Equation of radical axis is $ \begin{aligned} & S_1-S_2=0 \\ & L_1:\left(x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y+5\right)- \\ & \quad\left(x^2+y^2-2 x-4 y-1\right)=0 \end{aligned} $ $ \begin{array}{ll} & -2 x-2 y+6=0 \\ \Rightarrow & L_1: x+y-3=0 \\ \text { Similarly, } & L_2:\left(x^2+y^2+2 x+2 y-7\right)- \\ & \left(x^2+y^2+x+y+9\right)=0 \\ \Rightarrow & L_2: x+y-16=0 \end{array} $ From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we obtain $ \left\{m=\frac{\text { coefficient of } n}{\text { coefficient of } y}\right\} $ $m_{L_1}=m_{L_2}=-1 \Rightarrow L_1$ and $L_2$ are parallel
