The points of intersection of the line a x   +   b y = 0 , ( a ≠ b ) and the circle x 2 + y…

The points of intersection of the line ax + by=0, (ab) and the circle x2+y2-2x=0 are A(α,0) and B(1,β). The image of the circle with AB as a diameter in the line x+y+2=0 is :
  1. x2+y2+5x+5y+12=0
  2. x2+y2+3x+5y+8=0
  3. x2+y2+3x+3y+4=0
  4. x2+y2-5x-5y+12=0

Solution

Given,

The points of intersection of the line ax+by=0,(ab) and the circle x2+y2-2x=0 are Aα,0 and B(1,β) then,

For point Aα,0

a(α)+b(0)=0α=0

And, α2-2α=0α=0,2

For point B(1,β)

a+bβ=0

Or, β=-ba

And, 1+β2-2=0

β=±1

ab therefore,

Only possibility α=0, β=1

Points are A0,0 and B1,1

So the centre of the circle with diameter AB is 12,12 and radius r=12

Now the image of 12,12 about the line x+y+2=0 is,

x-121=y-121=-212+12+212+12

x-121=y-121=-3

Centre of image circle is -52,-52

Equation of image circle

x+522+y+522=122

x2+y2+5x+5y+12=0
