Solution

The correct option is B

y- axis only


The given equation can be written as (x4)2+(y+2)2=42.
We know that the standard equation of the circle with centre (h, k) is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2.
Comparing the given equation with the standard equation, we get centre (4, -2), and radius = 4.
Since co-ordinates of the centre of the circle are (4, -2), therefore the given circle touches y-axis only.
