Question : 14 of 71
Marks: +1, -0
Find the equation of a circle with centre (2, 2) and passes through the point (4, 5).
Solution:  
The equation of circle is
(xh)2+(yk)2(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r2r^2 ....(i)
Since the circle passes through point (4, 5) and co-ordinates of centre are (2, 2)
∴ radius of circle = (42)2+(52)2\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(5-2)^2} = 4+9\sqrt{4+9} = 13\sqrt{13}
Now the required equation of circle is (x2)2+(y2)2(x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2 = (13)2(\sqrt{13})^2
x2x^2 + 4 – 4x + y2y^2 + 4 – 4y = 13 ⇒ x2x^2 + y2y^2 – 4x – 4y – 5 = 0.
