JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.1 circle and system of circle

A circle touches both the \(y\)-axis and the line \(x+y=0\). Then the locus of its center is

  1. A \(y=\sqrt{2} x\)
  2. B \(x=\sqrt{2} y\)
  3. C \(y ^{2}- x ^{2}=2 xy\)
  4. D \(x^{2}-y^{2}=2 x y\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(x^{2}-y^{2}=2 x y\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \((h, k)\) is centre of circle \(\left|\frac{ h - k }{\sqrt{2}}\right|=| h |\) \(k ^{2}- h ^{2}+2 h k =0\) \(\therefore\) Equation of locus is \(y ^{2}- x ^{2}+2 xy =0\)
