A circle touches the y axis at 0,3 and cuts and interept of 8 units on x axis pls explain me the doubts
- What is the differrence between touhing and forming intrcept?
- The radius =8 so can we solve the eqn of circle by the points 0,3 and 8,0
- pls explain me the easiest method with formula
thanks in advance
The case shown here can be reverse also , it means it can be in negative side of x-axis also .
Here TS = 8 , so PT = PS = 4
And OP = 3
Hence OT = 32 +42 = 52
Hence the radius = 5
And coordinate of O is (5 , 3 )
Here 5 can be negative as well as positive.
So the equation are (x -5)2 + (y -3)2 = 25
(x+5)2 +(y-3)2 = 25
Touching means P and ST is the intercept.
