Find the equation of the circle concentric with the circle and which touches the y-axis.

Answer:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The general equation of the circle is,

x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0

Radius,

r =

The equation of the circle which is concentric to the given circle and touches y-axis.

The centre of the circle remains the same and the y-axis will be tangent to the circle.

Point of contact will be (0, 3)

Radius = 2

Equation of the circle:

(x – 2)2 + (y – 3)2 = (2)2

x2 + 4 – 4x + y2 + 9 – 6y = 4

x2 + y2 – 4x – 6y + 9 = 0
