We will learn how to form the equation of a circle passes through the origin.
The equation of a circle with centre at (h, k) and radius equal to a, is (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = a2.
When the centre of the circle coincides with the origin i.e., a2 = h2 + k2
Let O be the origin and C(h, k) be the centre of the circle. Draw CM perpendicular to OX.
Circle Passes through the Origin
Circle Passes through the Origin
In triangle OCM, OC2 = OM2 + CM2
i.e., a2 = h2 + k2.
Therefore, the equation of the circle (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = a2 becomes
(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = h2 + k2
⇒ x2 + y2 - 2hx – 2ky = 0
The equation of a circle passing through the origin is
x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy = 0 ……………. (1)
or, (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = h2 + k2 …………………………. (2)
We clearly see that the equations (1) and (2) are satisfied by (0, 0).
