AB is a diameter of a circle with centre (3, 4). If coordinates of A is the point (4, 9), then find the coordinates of B. |
(7, 13) (2, -1) (1, 5) (3, -2) |
(2, -1) |
AB is a diameter of a circle with centre (3, 4). Coordinates of A is the point (4, 9) Assume C to be the centre of circle. AC = sqrt((4-3)^2 + (9-4)^2) = sqrt(1+25) = sqrt(26) Also AC = BC Let B be at (x,y) BC = sqrt((x-3)^2 + (y-4)^2) = sqrt(26) (x-3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 26 Applying hit and trial using the given options (2-3)^2 + (-1-4)^2 = 26 1 + 25 = 26 (The condition is satisfiying the equation) The correct answer is Option (2) → (2, -1) |
