Line
x+2y=1 cuts the
X-axis at
A and
Y-axis at
B.
Then,
A(1,0) and
B(0,) A circle passes through
A and
B and origin.
So, equation of circle is
x2+y2+2gx+2fy=0 It passes through the point
A(1,0),
1+0+2g=0⇒g=− Also, passes through
(0,)20++0+f=0⇒f=− So, equation of circle is
x2+y2−x−=0 So, tangent at
(0,0) is
xx1+yy1−()−()=00+0−()−()=0 ⇒2x+y=0 Perpendicular distance from
A(1,0) to tangent at origin
=||=. Perpendicular distance from
B(0,) to tangent at origin
=||= Sum of perpendicular distances from
A and
B to tangent at origin
=(2+)= Centre
(−y1,−f)=(,) Radius =√g2+f2−c=√+−0= Diameter =2r= So, sum of perpendicular distances from
A and
B equal to the diameter of circle.
