Find equation of a diameter of the circle is given by x2+ y2-12x+4y+6 =0 is given by ?
x2+ y2-12x+4y+6 =0
Completing the square in x and y,we get,
(x2-12x+36)+(y2+4y+4)+6 =36+4
(x2- 12x+36)+(y2+4y+4) =40-6
(x-6)2+(y+2)2 =34
Now,
Compare this equation to the general equation of a circle centered at (h,k) with a radius R.
(x-h)2+(y-k)2 =R2
Centre = (h, k)=(6,-2)
Radius, R = √34
and
Diameter = 2R=2√34
