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
3
x
+
4
y
−
4
=
0
Hence perpendicular distance from centre on the line is radius which
h
as per the condition so, we get an equation
3
h
+
4
h
−
4
√
3
2
+
4
2
=
h
So,
7
h
−
4
=
5
h
and we get
h
=
2
So centre at
(
x
,
2
)
Radius
=
h
=
2
Now from the definition of circle equation is
(
x
−
2
)
2
+
(
y
−
2
)
2
=
4
And by solving we will get equation as
x
2
+
y
2
−
4
x
−
4
y
+
4
=
0
