  1. A \(x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y+4=0\)
  2. B \(x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y-8=0\)
  3. C \(x^2+y^2-4 x+6 y+4=0\)
  4. D \(x^2+y^2+4 x-6 y+8=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x^2+y^2-4 x+6 y+4=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(c) Centre is \((2,-3)\), circle touches \(X\)-axis, \[ \therefore \text { Radius }=|-3|=3 \text {. } \] \(\therefore\) Circle is \((x-2)^2+(y+3)^2=9\) \[ \Rightarrow \quad x^2+y^2-4 x+6 y+4=0 \]
