The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equation of the line on which the centers of the family of circles that cut the given family of circles orthogonally lie. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Circle Equation**: The given family of circles is represented by the equation: \[ x^2 + y^2 + 4x\left(\lambda - \frac{3}{2}\right) + 3y\left(\lambda - \frac{4}{3}\right) - 6(\lambda + 2) = 0 \] This can be rewritten in a more manageable form by grouping terms involving \(\lambda\). 2. **Rearranging the Circle Equation**: Rearranging the terms, we have: \[ x^2 + y^2 + 4x\lambda - 6x + 3y\lambda - 4y - 6\lambda + 12 = 0 \] This separates the \(\lambda\) dependent and independent terms. 3. **Identifying \(s_1\) and \(s_2\)**: We can express the equation in terms of \(s_1\) and \(s_2\) for two different values of \(\lambda\): \[ s_1 = x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 4y - 12 + \lambda_1(4x - 6y - 6) = 0 \] \[ s_2 = x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 4y - 12 + \lambda_2(4x - 6y - 6) = 0 \] 4. **Finding the Radical Line**: The radical line is determined by the equation \(s_1 - s_2 = 0\): \[ (s_1 - s_2) = \lambda_1(4x - 6y - 6) - \lambda_2(4x - 6y - 6) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ (4x - 6y - 6)(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2) = 0 \] 5. **Conclusion**: Since \(\lambda_1 \neq \lambda_2\), we can conclude that: \[ 4x - 6y - 6 = 0 \] This is the equation of the radical line on which the centers of the family of circles lie. ### Final Answer: The equation of the line on which the center of the family of circles lies is: \[ 4x - 6y - 6 = 0 \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the equation of the line on which the centers of the family of circles that cut the given family of circles orthogonally lie. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Circle Equation**: The given family of circles is represented by the equation: \[ x^2 + y^2 + 4x\left(\lambda - \frac{3}{2}\right) + 3y\left(\lambda - \frac{4}{3}\right) - 6(\lambda + 2) = 0 ...
