Find the equation of the circle passing through the vertices of the triangle whose sides are x+y-4=0 , x-y=2 , and 2x-y-2=0

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

We have:L1:x+y=4 ;iL2:x-y=2 ;iiL3:2x-y=2 ;iiii+iix+y+x-y=6x=3Put this in i3+y=4y=1Ax1,y1=3,1iii-ii2x-y-x+y=2-2x=0Put this in ii0-y=2or y=-2Bx2,y2=0,-2iii+i2x-y+x+y=6x=2Put x=2 in i2+y=4y=2Cx3,y3=2,2



Slope of L1m1=-Coefficient of xCoefficient of y=-11=-1Slope of L2m2=-Coefficient of xCoefficient of y=-1-11=1m1m2=-1Hence L1 and L2 are perpendicular.As angle in semi-cirlce is 90°, hence BC will be the diameter of the circle.Hence equation of circle is given by:x-x2x-x3+y-y2y-y3=0x-0x-2+y+2y-2=0x2-2x+y2-2y+2y-4=0x2+y2-2x-4=0
