COMEDK · Maths · 12. Circle

The equation of a circle passing through the origin is \(x^2+y^2-6 x+2 y=0\). The equation of one of its diameter is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x+3 y=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given equation of the circle is \(x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 2y = 0\). Comparing this with the general equation of a circle \(x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0\), we have \(2g = -6\) and \(2f = 2\). Thus, \(g = -3\) and \(f = 1\). The center of the circle is \((-g, -f) = (3, -1)\). A…
