The line λx - y + 1 = 0 cuts the coordinate axes at points P and Q. The line x -  2y + 3 = 0 intersects the coordinate axes at points R and S. If P, Q, R and S are concyclic, then the value of K is .....

Answer»

Equation of the circle passing through points P, Q, R and S is of the form

(λx - y + 1)(x - 2y + 3) + μ(xy) = 0

This equation represents a circle if the coefficient of x2 is equal to the coefficient of y2 and coefficient of xy = 0. Therefore,

λ = 2 and μ = 5

Hence, the value of λ = 2
