Show that the points (9,1),(7,9),(-2,12) and (6,10) are concyclic.

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

We have:A9,1 B7,9 C-2,12 and D6,10As unique circle passes through three points, hence we will first findcircle passing through A9,1 B7,9 C-2,12Let equation of circle be x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0Put A9,181+1+18g+2f+c=018g+2f+82=-c....iPut B7,949+81+14g+18f+c=014g+18f+130=-c....iiPut C-2,124+144-4g+24f+c=0-4g+24f+148=-c ...iiiBy i and ii18g+2f+82=14g+18f+1304g-16f=130-82=48Divide each term by 4g-4f=12 ;ivBy ii and iii14g+18f+130=-4g+24f+14818g-6f=148-130=18Divide each term by 6, we get:3g-f=3 ....vv-3×iv3g-f-3g+12f=3-3611f=-33f=-3Put in v3g+3=33g=0g=0Put g=0 and f=-3 in  i0-6+82=-c-c=76c=-76Hence x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 becomesx2+y2+0-6y-76=0x2+y2-6y-76=0If A,B,C,D are concyclic, then D6,10 must satisfy obtained equation of circle.Put D6,10 in R.H.S.36+100-60-76=136-136=0=R.H.S.Hence D lies on the circle.Hence points A9,1 B7,9 C-2,12 and D6,10 are concyclic.
