Find the centre and radius of each of the following circles: (iii) x2 + y2 – 4x + 6y = 5 (iv) x2 + y2 – x + 2y – 3 = 0
Find the centre and radius of each of the following circles: (iii) x2 + y2 – 4x + 6y = 5 (iv) x2 + y2 – x + 2y – 3 = 0

(iii) By using the standard equation formula,

    \[{{\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }a \right)}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{\left( y\text{ }-\text{ }b \right)}^{2}}~=\text{ }{{r}^{2}}~\ldots .\text{ }\left( 1 \right)\]

converting given circle’s equation into the standard form.

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} {{x}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{y}^{2}}~\text{ }4x\text{ }+\text{ }6y\text{ }=\text{ }5  \\ ({{x}^{2}}~-\text{ }4x\text{ }+\text{ }4)\text{ }+\text{ }({{y}^{2}}~+\text{ }6y\text{ }+\text{ }9)\text{ }=\text{ }5\text{ }+\text{ }4\text{ }+\text{ }9  \\ {{\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }2 \right)}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{\left( y\text{ }+\text{ }3 \right)}^{2}}~=\text{ }18  \\ {{\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }2 \right)}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{\left( y\text{ }\text{ }-\left( -3 \right) \right)}^{2}}~=\text{ }{{\left( 3\surd 2 \right)}^{2}}~\ldots \text{ }\left( 2 \right)  \\ \end{array}\]

By comparing equation (2) with (1), we get

Centre = (2, -3) and radius = 3√2

∴ The centre of the circle is (2, -3) and the radius is 3√2.

(iv) 

The equation x2 + y2 – x + 2y – 3 = 0

We need to find the centre and the radius.

By using the standard equation formula,

(x – a)2 + (y – b)2 = r2 …. (1)

Now let us convert given circle’s equation into the standard form.

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} {{x}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{y}^{2}}~-\text{ }x\text{ }+\text{ }2y\text{ }-\text{ }3\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ ({{x}^{2}}~-\text{ }x\text{ }+\text{ }{\scriptscriptstyle 1\!/\!{ }_4})\text{ }+\text{ }({{y}^{2}}~+\text{ }2y\text{ }+\text{ }1)\text{ }-\text{ }3\text{ }-\text{ }{\scriptscriptstyle 1\!/\!{ }_4}\text{ }-\text{ }1\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ {{\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }{\scriptscriptstyle 1\!/\!{ }_2} \right)}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{\left( y\text{ }+\text{ }1 \right)}^{2}}~=\text{ }17/4\text{ }\ldots .\text{ }\left( 2 \right)  \\ \end{array}\]

By comparing equation (2) with (1), we get

Centre = (½, – 1) and radius = √17/2

∴ The centre of the circle is (½, -1) and the radius is √17/2.
