Which of the following is a point on the common chord of the circles \( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-3y+6=0\ and\ x^{2}+y^{2}+x-8y-13=0 \)?
Correct Answer: |
|
|
D) \( \Large \left(1,\ -4\right) \) |
Description for Correct answer:
Let the equation of circles are
\( \Large S_{1} = x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-3y+6=0 \) ...(i)
\( \Large S_{2} = x^{2}+y^{2}+x-8y-13=0 \) ...(ii)
Equation of common chord is
\( \Large S_{1} - S_{2} = 0 \)
=> \( \Large \left(x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-3y+6\right) - \left(x^{2}+y^{2}+x-8y-13\right) = 0 \)
=> \( \Large x+5y+19=0 \) ...(iii)
In the given options only the point \( \Large \left(1,\ -4\right) \) satisfied the eq. (iii)
