Question

the equation of the circle which touches the line x=0 & y=0 & 3x+4y=4

Open in App
Solution

Let's take the centre of circle as (h,k). As given circle touches both x and y axis so we can conclude h=k means centre of the circle is at (h,h)
Now it touches the line 3x+4y4=0
Hence perpendicular distance from centre on the line is radius which h as per the condition so, we get an equation 3h+4h432+42=h
So, 7h4=5h and we get h=2
So centre at (x,2)
Radius =h=2
Now from the definition of circle equation is
(x2)2+(y2)2=4
And by solving we will get equation as
x2+y24x4y+4=0
