Question

if AB is a diameter and 0(2,-3) is the center.if coordinates of B are(1,4), than find the coordinates of A.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:-

A circle with centre (2,−3) and AB is the diameter of circle with B(1,4).

To find:- Coordinate of point A.

Let (x,y) be the coordinate of A.

Since AB is the diameter of the circle, the centre will be the mid-point of AB.

now, as centre is the mid-point of AB.

x-coordinate of centre =

2x+1

y-coordinate of centre = 2y+4

But given that centre of circle is (2,−3).

Therefore,

2x+1=2⇒x=3

2y+4 =−3⇒y=−10

Thus the coordinate of A is (3,−10).

Hence the correct answer is (3,−10).
