10-1.Circle and System of Circles
easy
The equation of the normal to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} - 2x = 0$ parallel to the line $x + 2y = 3$ is
A
$2x + y - 1 = 0$
B
$2x + y + 1 = 0$
C
$x + 2y - 1 = 0$
D
$x + 2y + 1 = 0$
Solution
(c) Any line parallel to $x + 2y = 3$ is $x + 2y + \lambda = 0$
and for this to be a normal to the given circle, must pass through its centre $(1, 0)$,
$i.e$. $\lambda = – 1$.
So, normal is $x + 2y – 1 = 0$.
