Solution

Consider a point circle centered at origionC: x-02+y-02=0x2+y2=0Consider a line L: y-x=0Using family of circles the circle passing through intersection of C and L is given byx2+y2+λy-x=0Note: This circle passes through only one point lying on L, i.e. 0,0. Therefore it touches L. Reason: For other points lying on L, λy-x will be zero but x2+y2 will yield non-zero quantity. It is given the circle passes through 2,122+12+λ1-2=05-λ=0λ=5Equation of required circle isx2+y2+5y-x=0x2+y2+5y-5x=0Acomparing with x2+y2+px+qy=0p=-5q=5p+q=0
