Find the equation of the circle having (1, –2) as its centre and passing through 3x + y = 14, 2x + 5y = 18
Given lines are
3x+y=14 and 2x+5y=18
Solving these equations we get point of intersection of the lines as A (4,2)
Radius=
So, equation of the required circle is:
(x-1)2+(y+2)2=52
x2+y2-2x+4y-20=0
