A circle whose centre is the point of the intersection of the lines 2x-3y+4=0 and 3x+4y-5=0 passes through the origin. find its equation.

We are given equation of the lines-

  ----- (1)

  ----- (2)

By subtracting equationfrom equation,we get

By substituting in equation(1) we get,

Therefore, the center of the circle isand equation of the circle will be

Since circle passes through the origin, so putting x = y = 0 in the above equation.

The equation of the circle becomes
