Solution

Let the required equation of the circle be

\[x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0\]  ...(1)
It is given that the circle passes through (3, −2), (−2, 0).
∴ \[13 + 6g - 4f + c = 0\]...(2)
\[4 - 4g + c = 0\]  ...(3)
The centre lies on the line 2x − y = 3.
∴\[- 2g + f - 3 = 0\]  ...(4)
Solving (2), (3) and (4):
\[g = \frac{3}{2}, f = 6, c = 2\]
Hence, the required equation of circle is
\[x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 12y + 2 = 0\]
