If the lines 2x – 3y – 5 = 0 and 3x – 4y – 7 = 0 are the diameters of a circle, then its centre is: (a) (-1, 1) (b) (1, 1) (c) (1, -1) (d) (-1, -1)

Answer»

(c) (1, -1)

To get centre we must solve the given equations 

2x – 3y – 5 = 0 … (1) 

3x – 4y – 7 = 0 … (2) 

(1) x 3 ⇒ 6x – 9y = 15 

(2) x 2 ⇒ 6x – 8y = 14 

Subtracting, -y = 1 ⇒ y = -1 

Using y = -1 in (1) we get 

2x + 3 – 5 = 0 

⇒ 2x = 2 

⇒ x = 1
