Answer:
Equation of Chord is x = y
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Equation of circle, x² + y² - ax = 0
Mid point of chord = ( 1 , 1 )
To find: Equation of chord.
We know that perpendicular from center of the circle bisect the chord.
So,
if m is slope of chord and n is slop of perpendicular line from center to mid point of chord, then use result of slope of perpendicular lines.
we have m × n = -1 ....................(1)
Equation of circle,
x² + y² - 4x = 0
x² - 4x + y² = 0
x² - 4x + 2² + y² = 0 + 2²
( x - 2 )² + y² = 4
⇒ Center of the circle = ( 2 , 0 )
Slope of the line from center to mid point of chord, n =
From (1),
m × (-1) = -1
m = 1
Now using slope-point form we have,
y - 1 = x - 1
x - y = 0
Therefore, Equation of Chord is x = y
