Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x^{2}+y^{2}-5 x-5 y+12=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) Put \(x=2, y=2\), we have \[ \begin{aligned} &(2)^{2}+(2)^{2}+5 \times 2+5 \times 2+12 \\ &\quad=4+4+10+10+12=40 \neq 0 \end{aligned} \] (b) Put \(x=2, y=2\), we have \[ \begin{aligned} (2)^{2}+(2)^{2}-5 \times 2-5 \times 2+12 \\ =& 4+4-10-10+12=0 \end{aligned} \] Put…
