Question

The equation of circle passing through (3,-6) touching both the axes is

Open in App
Solution

We know the , general equation of circle is

(xh)2+(yk)2=r2

when circle touches both the axis then h = k = R

(xh)2+(yh)2=h2

now this circle passes through (3,-6) so

(3h)2+(6h)2=h2

after solving we get this equation-

h2+6h+45=0

Discriminant = negative , hence h is imaginary so there will be no circle under this condition.
