Find the Coordinates of a Point A, Where AB is a Diameter of a Circle Whose Centre is (2,-3) and B is (1,4) | Bzziii
Find the coordinates of a point A, where AB is a diameter of a circle whose centre is (2,-3) and B is (1,4).
Let the circle be as shown with centre C (2, -3)
Hence, the coodinates of A (x,y)
Let AB be the diameter of the circle
Since AB is the diameter ,
Centre C must be the mid - point of AB
Let (x,y)
Since C is the mid- point of AB
x-coordinate of C = `\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}`
y-coordinate of C = `\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}`
Where,
`x_1` = `x` `y_1` = `y`
`x_2` = 1 `y_1` = 4
`x` Coordinate of C = `\frac{x + 1}{2}` 2 = `\frac{x + 1}{2}` 2 `\times` 2 = `x` + 1 4 = `x` + 1 4 - 1= `x` 3= `x` |
`y` Coordinate of C = `\frac{y + 4}{2}` -3 = `\frac{y + 4}{2}` -3 `\times` 2 = `y` + 1 -6 - 4 = `y` - 10= `x` |
= A (3, -10)
