The lines 2x - 3y = 5 and 3x - 4y = 7 are diameters of a circle havin...
To find the equation of the circle, we need to find the coordinates of the center and the radius of the circle.
Finding the center of the circle:
1. Rewrite the given equations in the standard form of a circle: (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2.
2. Let's start with the first equation, 2x - 3y = 5.
- Rewrite it as: 2x - 5 = 3y.
- Divide both sides by 3: (2/3)x - (5/3) = y.
- Now we have y = (2/3)x - (5/3), which can be written as y = (2/3)(x - 0) - (5/3).
- Comparing this with the standard form, we see that h = 0 and k = -5/3.
3. Similarly, for the second equation, 3x - 4y = 7.
- Rewrite it as: 3x - 7 = 4y.
- Divide both sides by 4: (3/4)x - (7/4) = y.
- Now we have y = (3/4)x - (7/4), which can be written as y = (3/4)(x - 0) - (7/4).
- Comparing this with the standard form, we see that h = 0 and k = -7/4.
From the above calculations, we can conclude that the center of the circle is (0, -5/3) or (0, -7/4).
Finding the radius of the circle:
1. Rewrite the given equations in slope-intercept form: y = mx + c.
2. Let's start with the first equation, 2x - 3y = 5.
- Rewrite it as: y = (2/3)x - 5/3.
- Comparing this with the slope-intercept form, we see that the slope m = 2/3.
3. Similarly, for the second equation, 3x - 4y = 7.
- Rewrite it as: y = (3/4)x - 7/4.
- Comparing this with the slope-intercept form, we see that the slope m = 3/4.
From the above calculations, we can conclude that the slopes of the diameters are 2/3 and 3/4.
The radius of a circle is perpendicular to the diameter. Therefore, the product of the slopes of the diameters will be -1.
(2/3) * (3/4) = 6/12 = 1/2 ≠ -1.
Since the product of the slopes is not -1, the given lines do not form diameters of a circle. Hence, the given information is incorrect.
Therefore, none of the options provided (A, B, C, D) is the correct equation of the circle.
The lines 2x - 3y = 5 and 3x - 4y = 7 are diameters of a circle havin...
Coordinate of centre is equal to intersection point of diameters, which is (1, -1).
πR2 = 154, R2 = 49
∴ R = 7
∴ Required equation of circle,
(x - 1)2 + (y + 1)2 = 49
x2 + y2 - 2x + 2y = 47
