The two circles x2 + y2 − 2 x + 6 y + 6 = 0 and x2 + y2 − 5 x + 6 y + 15 = 0 touch each other. The equation of their common tangent is :

Answer»

Common tangent (x2 + y2 - 2x + 6y +6) - (x2 + y2 - 5x + 6y + 15) = 0

= - 2x + 5x + 6y - 6y + 6 - 15 = 0

= 3x - 9 = 0

= x = \(\cfrac93\) = 3

= x = 3

Hence, x = 3 is common tangent
