To solve the problem, we need to find the fixed point (a, b) through which the common chords of the given circle and the family of circles pass. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Find the equation of the line passing through points S(3, 7) and B(6, 5) The slope \( m \) of the line through points \( S(3, 7) \) and \( B(6, 5) \) is given by: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{5 - 7}{6 - 3} = \frac{-2}{3} ...
