Write the equation of the circle passing through (3,4) and touching y-axis at the origin.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Give: the circle passes through origin and touches the Y-axis.

Hence, the centre lies on the X-axis. coordinates of centre are `(a, 0 )`.

Given: the circle passes through `(3,4)`

Hence,` sqrt{(a-3)^{2}+(0-4)^{2}}=a `

`Rightarrow a^{2}+9-6 a+16=a^{2} `

`Rightarrow-6 a+25=0`

`Rightarrow a=frac{25}{6}`

Hence, Required equation of circle is
