Question

find the equation of the circle passing through the point(0,2) having radius root 8units and center lying on the line y= x+2

Open in App
Solution

Let the center of the cicle is =(a,b)Since it lies on the line y=x+2 hence it satisfies this line i.e. b=a+2 ...(1)Now cicle passes through the point(0,2) hence it's distence from the center is equal to radius .This implies that (a-0)2+(b-2)2=radius =8a2+(b-2)2=8 By putting value of a from equation (1) we get a2+a2=8 2a2=8 a=±2 Hence from the equation (1) we get b=4 when a=2 and b=0 when a=-2 So we get (a,b)=(2,4) and (2,-2) But we know from equation (1) that b=a+2 and note that(-2,2) not satisfy this equation (because 2-2+2 ) So we get center of the cicle is (a,b)=(2,4)So the equation of the cicle {(x-a)2 + (y-b)2 = r2 } is (x-2)2+(y-4)2=(8)2=8That is (x-2)2+(y-4)2=8
