The length of \(y\)-intercept of the circle \(x^2+y^2-6 x+4 y+3=0\) is

  1. A 2
  2. B \(2 \sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(2 \sqrt{7}\)
  4. D \(2 \sqrt{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

General equation of circle is \(x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0\) On comparing with given equation \(x^2+y^2-6 x+4 y+3=0\), we get \(\begin{aligned} g & =-3 \\ f & =2 \\ c & =3 \\ y \text {-intercept } & =2 \sqrt{f^2-c} \\ & =2 \sqrt{4-3}=2 \sqrt{1}=2 \end{aligned}\)
