The equation of radical axis of the circles x 2 + y 2 + 4 x + 6 y + 7 = 0 and 4 x 2 + 4 y 2 + 8 x + 12 &#160…

The equation of radical axis of the circles x2+y2+4x+6y+7=0 and 4x2+4y2+8x+ 12 y-9=0 is
  1. x+y+1=0
  2. 8 x+12 y=0
  3. 8 x+12 y+37=0
  4. 2 x+3 y+7=0

Solution

Given: S1: x2+y2+4x+6y+7=0

S2: 4x2+4y2+8x+12y-9=0

Equation of radical axis of circles is S1-S2=0

S1: x2+y2+4x+6y+7=0

S2: x2+y2+2x+3y-94=0

Radical axis:

S1-S2=0

 x2+y2+4x+6y+7-x2+y2+2x+3y-94=0

 2x+3y+374=0

 8x+12y+37=0
