10-1.Circle and System of Circles
easy
$x = 7$ touches the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} - 4x - 6y - 12 = 0$, then the coordinates of the point of contact are
A
$(7, 3)$
B
$(7, 4)$
C
$(7, 8)$
D
$(7, 2)$
Solution
(a) Putting $x = 7$, we get ${y^2} – 6y + 9 = 0$
$ \Rightarrow y = 3,\;3$
Hence the point of contact is $(7, 3)$.
