MCQ
If a circle passes through the point $(0, 0), (a, 0), (0, b)$ then its centre is
- A$(a,\;b)$
- B$(b,\;a)$
- ✓$\left( {\frac{a}{2},\;\frac{b}{2}} \right)$
- D$\left( {\frac{b}{2},\; - \frac{a}{2}} \right)$
$c = 0$….$(i)$
${a^2} + 2ga + c = 0$….$(ii)$
${b^2} + 2fb + c = 0$….$(iii)$
On solving them, we get $g = - \frac{a}{2},\;f = - \frac{b}{2}$
Hence the centre is $\left( {\frac{a}{2},\;\frac{b}{2}} \right)$.
