10-1.Circle and System of Circles
medium
The radical axis of the pair of circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = 144$ and ${x^2} + {y^2} - 15x + 12y = 0$ is
A
$15x - 12y = 0$
B
$3x - 2y = 12$
C
$5x - 4y = 48$
D
None of these
Solution
(c) The radical axis of the circle ${S_1} = 0$ and ${S_2} = 0$ is ${S_1} – {S_2} = 0$
$\therefore \;({x^2} + {y^2} – 144) – ({x^2} + {y^2} – 15x + 12y) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow 15x – 12y – 144 = 0 $
$\Rightarrow 5x – 4y = 48$.
