Q. (11.) The line y=2x1 y=2 x-1 passes through the centre of a circle with radius 66 units. Write down a possible equation of the circle.\newlinesub any value of x x \newlineBSS/Additional Mathematics/S33G33\newlineChapter 77: Coordinate Geometry
  1. Find Center Coordinates: To find the equation of the circle, we need to know the coordinates of the center of the circle. Since the center lies on the line y=2x1y=2x-1, we can choose any point (x,y)(x, y) on this line to be the center. Let's choose x=0x=0 to make the calculation simple.
  2. Substitute x=0x=0: Substitute x=0x=0 into the line equation y=2x1y=2x-1 to find the y-coordinate of the center.\newliney=2(0)1y = 2(0) - 1\newliney=1y = -1\newlineSo, the center of the circle is at (0,1)(0, -1).
  3. Circle Equation Formula: The general equation of a circle with center (h,k)(h, k) and radius rr is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2. We know the center (h,k)(h, k) is (0,1)(0, -1) and the radius rr is 66 units.
  4. Substitute Center and Radius: Substitute the center coordinates and the radius into the circle equation to get the equation of the circle. \newline(x0)2+(y(1))2=62(x-0)^2 + (y-(-1))^2 = 6^2\newlinex2+(y+1)2=36x^2 + (y+1)^2 = 36
  5. Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation if necessary. In this case, the equation is already in its simplest form. x2+(y+1)2=36x^2 + (y+1)^2 = 36
