Question
Find the coordinates of the centre and radius of each of the following circles: x2 + y2 − ax − by = 0
Advertisements
Solution
The given equation can be rewritten as
∴ Centre = \[\left( \frac{a}{2}, \frac{b}{2} \right)\]
And, radius =\[\sqrt{\left( \frac{a}{2} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{b}{2} \right)^2} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\]
