View full question & answer→The equation of the circle circumscribing the triangle whose sides are the lines $y = x + 2, 3y = 4x, 2y = 3x$ is 0.
Solution:
Given equation of line are, $y=x+2 \ldots$...(i) $3 y=4 x$.....(ii) $2 y=3 x \ldots$...(iii)
Solving these line, we get points of intersection $A(6,8), B(4,6)$ and $C(0,0)$
Let the equation of circle circumscribing the given triangle be $x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0$ Since the point $A(6,9), B(4$,
6 ) and $C(0,0)$ lie on this circle,
we have $36+64+12 g+16 f+c=0$
$\Rightarrow 12 g+16 f + c =-100$ Also, $16+36+8 g+12 f + c =0$
$\Rightarrow 8 g+12 f + c =-52$ And $C =0$ Putting $c =0$ in eqs. (iv) and (v)
we get $3 g+4 f=-25$ and $2 g+3 f=-13$ On solving these,
we get g $= -23 and f = 11$
So, the equation of circle is, $x^2 + y^2 - 46x + 22y + 0 = 0$
$ \Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 - 46x + 22y = 0$
