Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) -23

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of given circles \[ \begin{array}{r} S_1: x^2+y^2+6 x-2 y+k=0 \\ \text { and } S_2: x^2+y^2+2 x-6 y-15=0 \end{array} \] Since, the circle \(S_1\) bisects the circumference of the circle \(S_2\), then the common of circles \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) will passing through the…
