The equation of a circle that passes through the intersection points of the given circles is determined as follows:
First, start with the general form that includes both circles and a parameter
λ :
x2+y2−2x+2y−2+λ(x2+y2+2x−2y+1)=0Simplifying this equation leads to:
(1+λ)x2+(1+λ)y2+(2λ−2)x+(2−2λ)y+(−2+λ)=0To rewrite in standard circle form, factor out the coefficients:
x2+y2+2x(‌)+2y(‌)−‌=0The center of the circle
(h,k) from this equation is:
(‌,‌)Since this center lies on the line
x−y+6=0, we substitute the center into the line's equation:
1−λ−(λ−1)+6(1+λ)=0Solving:
1−λ−λ+1+6λ+6=0⇒4λ+8=0⇒λ=−2Substitute
λ=−2 back into the center, we get:
(h,k)=(−3,3)Finally, calculate the radius of the circle:
‌ Radius ‌=√(−3)2+32−‌=√(−3)2+32−‌Solving further:
Radius
=√9+9+4=√14
