If the lines 2x – 3y = 5 and 3x – 4y = 7 are the diameters of a circle of area 154 square units, then obtain the equation of the circle.
Given that the lines 2x-3y-5=0 and 3x-4y-7=0 are diameters of the circle.
2x-3y-5=0.....(i)
3x-4y-7=0....(ii)
3 (Equation (i)) - 2 (Equation (ii) )
6x-9y-15-6x+8y+14=0.
y = -1
Put value of y in equation (i)
x = 1
Solving these lines we will get the intersection as (1,-1) which is centre of the circle.
Also, given that area of the circle is 154 sq units
πr2=154
r2=154*7/22=49
r=7
(x-1)2+(y+1)2=49
x2+y2-2x+2y-47=0
