A line meets the circle \(x^2+y^2-4 x-4 y-8=0\) in two points A and B. If \(\mathrm{P}(2,-2)\) is a point on the circle such that \(\mathrm{PA}=\mathrm{PB}=2\) then the equation of the line AB is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 y+3=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(S_1: x^2+y^2-4x-4y-8=0\) \(S_2: (x-2)^2+(y+2)^2=2^2 \implies x^2-4x+4+y^2+4y+4=4 \implies x^2+y^2-4x+4y+4=0\) \(\text{Line AB is } S_1-S_2=0\) \((x^2+y^2-4x-4y-8)-(x^2+y^2-4x+4y+4)=0\) \(-8y-12=0\) \(2y+3=0\)
