The equations of the circles which touched both the axes and also the straight line 4x + 3y = 6 in the first quadrant and lies below it is 4x2+4y2− -4x - 4y + 1 = 0

Solution
Circle touching both axes is (h, h), h i.e. (x−h)2+(y−h)2=h2 The condition of tangency with given line gives4h+3h−6±5=hor7h−6=5h h = 3, 1/2 Since the circle is to lie below the line, the value of h cannot exceed 3/2 hence h = 3 is rejected. ∴ h = 1 / 2. Putting in (1) we get the answer.
