Q.

If a circle passes through the point (0, 0), (a, 0), (0, b), then its centre is

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Let the equation of circle be x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 . Now on passing through the points, we get three equations.
c=0 ...(i)
a2+2ga+c=0 ...(ii)
b2+2fb+c=0 ...(iii)
On solving them, we get g=-a/2, f=-b/2 Hence the centre is (a/2, b/2)
