What does the equation (x−a)2+(y−b)2=r2become when the axes are transferred to parallel axes through the point (a-c,b)?
We have.(x−a)2+(y−b)2=r2 ....(i)substituting x=X+(a−c),y=Y+b in the equation (I) ,we get[X+a−c−a2]2+[Y+b−b]2⇒[X−c]2+[Y]2=r2⇒X2+c2−2xc+Y2=r2⇒X2+Y2−2cx=r2−c2Hence,the required equation is x2+y2−2cx=r2−c2⇒X2+Y2−2cx=r2−c2
