Question : 14
Total: 71
Find the equation of a circle with centre (2, 2) and passes through the point (4, 5).
Solution:  
The equation of circle is
(xh)2+(yk)2 = r2 ....(i)
Since the circle passes through point (4, 5) and co-ordinates of centre are (2, 2)
∴ radius of circle = (42)2+(52)2 = 4+9 = 13
Now the required equation of circle is (x2)2+(y2)2 = (13)2
x2 + 4 – 4x + y2 + 4 – 4y = 13 ⇒ x2 + y2 – 4x – 4y – 5 = 0.
