Dear Student
Let the circle has centre (h, k) and radius r, so the eqn of the circle would be (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² SInce points ((1, -1) and (37/13, 11/13) lies on the circle , they should satisfy the eqn of circle. (1 - h)² + (-1 - k)² = r² ---------------1) , and for other points (37/13 - h)² + (11/13 - k)² = r² -----2)
48h/13 + 48k/13 = 1152/169 ; or h + k = 1152*13)/(48*169) or 24/13 -----------3)
Also we know distance from tangent of a circle to its centre is its radius
distance = |ah + bk + c| / √(a² + b²) r = | h + k - 48/13 | / √(1 + 1) ; or r² = [(h + k) - 48/13]² / (√2)², plug h + k = 24/13 from eqn 3) r² = [24/13 - 48/13]² / 2 or 288/169 r = 12√2 / 13
Now find distance from any point say (37/13, 11/13) to the centre (h, k) which is r (11/13 - k)² + (37/13 - h)² = 288/169 (11 - 13k)² + (37 - 13h)² = 288 ; cancel out 169 at Denominator, and plug 13k = 24 - 13h ; eqn 3) (11 - 24 +13h)² + (37 - 13h)² = 288 (13h - 13)² + (37 - 13h)² = 288 169h² - 338h + 169 + 37² - 962h + 169h² = 288 338h² - 1300h + 1250 = 0 h = [1300 ± √1690000 - 1690000] / 2*338 = 100/2*26 or 25/13 since h + k = 24/13, therefore k = 24/13 - 25/13 = -1/13 so centre of circle (h, k) would be )25/13, -1/13) and radius of circle would be r = 12√2/13 and eqn. of the circle would be
