Q. What is the center of the circle passing through (−2,1) and tangent to the line 3x−2y−6=0 at the point (4,3)?
Find Circle Equation: Step 1: Find the equation of the circle passing through (−2,1) and tangent to the line at (4,3).
Calculate Radius: Step 2: Use the point-line distance formula to express the radius.
Correct Mistake: Step 3: Since the calculated radius is 0, which is not possible for a circle that passes through another point, there must be a mistake in the calculation.
