If the lines `x+y=6 and x+2y=4` are diameters of the circle which passes through the point (2, 6), then find its equation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here center will be the point of intersection of the diameter, i.e., `C (8,-2)`.
Also, the circle passes through the point P(2,6). Then radius is `CP=10`.
Hence, the required equation is
`(x-8)^(2)+(y+2)^(2)=10^(2)`
or `x^(2)+y^(2)-16x+4y-32=0`
