The equation of the circle of radius 3 that lies in the fourth quadrant and touching the lines $x=0$ and $y=0$ is
  1. $x^2+y^2-6 x+6 y+9=0$
  2. $x^2+y^2-6 x-6 y+9=0$
  3. $x^2+y^2+6 x-6 y+9=0$
  4. $x^2+y^2+6 x+6 y+9=0$

Solution

Given, radius $=3$, Since, the circle touching both the coordinate axes in 4th quadrant, so equation is $\begin{gathered}\quad(x-3)^2+(y+3)^2=3^2 \\ \Rightarrow \quad x^2+9-6 x+y^2+9+6 y=9 \\ \Rightarrow \quad x^2+y^2-6 x+6 y+9=0\end{gathered}$
