9.Straight Line
normal

A pair of straight lines $x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0$ and $y^2 - 14y + 45 = 0$ are forming a square. Co-ordinates of the centre of the circle inscribed in the square are

A

$(3, 6)$

B

$(4, 7)$

C

$(4, 8)$

D

none

Solution

$\quad x^{2}-8 x+12=0$

$\Rightarrow(x-6)(x-2)=0$

$y^{2}-14 y+45=0$

$(y-5)(y-9)=0$

Thes sides of square are

x=2, x=6, y=5, y=9

The centre of circle in square will be

$\left(\frac{2+6}{2}, \frac{5+9}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{8}{2}, \frac{14}{2}\right)$

$=(4,7)$
