Question

Write the length of the intercept made by the circle x2 + y2 + 2x − 4y − 5 = 0 on y-axis.

Open in App
Solution

Since the intercept lies on the y-axis, by putting x = 0 in the given equation, we get:

y2-4y-5=0
y=-1, 5

Thus, the length of the intercept on the y-axis is (5 + 1) = 6 units.
