Step-by-step explanation:

equation of the circle with center at h and k is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

h = 4, k = 5 and r² = 4² + 5² => 16+25

=> 41

therefore equation of tbe circle is,

(x - 4)² + (y - 5)² = 41

=> x² + 16 - 8x + y² + 25 - 10y = 41

=> x² + y² - 8x - 10y + 41 - 41 = 0

=> x² + y² - 8x - 10y = 0

to find the point at which the circle cuts y axis,

put x = 0

=> 0² + y² - 8*0 - 10y = 0

=> y² - 10y = 0

=> y ( y - 10) = 0

=> y = 0 and y = 10

therefore the circle

touches y axis at y = 10
