The equation of the pair of lines joining the origin to the points of intersection of $x^2+y^2=9$ and $x+y=3$, is
  1. $x^2+(3-y)^2=9$
  2. $(3+y)^2+y^2=9$
  3. $x^2 - y^2 = 9$
  4. $xy = 0$

Solution

Given, $x^2+y^2=9$ and $x+y=3$ Equation of pair of lines. $\begin{aligned} & x^2+y^2=9\left(\frac{x+y}{3}\right)^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x^2+y^2=(x+y)^2 \end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad x^2+y^2=x^2+y^2+2 x y \\ & \therefore \quad x y=0\end{aligned}$
