Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((-5,-6)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of coaxial system: \(S_1 + \lambda S_2 = 0\) \((x^2+y^2-4 x-2 y+5) + \lambda (x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y-3) = 0\) \((1+\lambda)x^2 + (1+\lambda)y^2 - (4+6\lambda)x - (2+4\lambda)y + (5-3\lambda) = 0\)…
