Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((-2,2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( (x-(-5))^2 + (y-6)^2 = (x-3)^2 + (y-2)^2 \) \( (x+5)^2 + (y-6)^2 = (x-3)^2 + (y-2)^2 \) \( x^2+10x+25+y^2-12y+36 = x^2-6x+9+y^2-4y+4 \) \( 10x-12y+61 = -6x-4y+13 \) \( 16x - 8y + 48 = 0 \Rightarrow 2x - y + 6 = 0 \) \( (2x - y + 6) + (3x + y + 4) = 0 \)…
