The equation of the circle whose diameter lies on 2x + 3y = 3 and 16x - y = 4 and which passes through (4, 6) is
The equation of diameters of the circle are;
Multiplying (i) by 8 and then subtracting (ii) from (i) we get;
And from (ii) we have;
So the centre of the circle is
We know that the equation of the circle with the centre and radius r is
So the equation of the required circle with centre and radius r is
Since this circle passes through the point (4, 6), so we have;
So the equation of the circle is given by;
Therefore the equation of the circle is
Multiplying (i) by 8 and then subtracting (ii) from (i) we get;
And from (ii) we have;
