The center of the circle 3x^2+3y^2+6x-12y-6=0 is what
Answers
Answer:
(-1 , 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given---> Equation of circle
3x² + 3y² + 6x - 12y - 6 = 0
To find---> Coordinate of center of circle
Solution---> Standard Equation of circle
x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + C = 0
Then coordinate of center of circle = (-g , -f )
So we first divide given equation by 3 to change it in to standard form and then compare it with standard equation to find coordinate of center of circle
3x² + 3y² + 6x - 12y - 6 = 0
Dividing whole equation by 3 , we get
3x²/3 + 3y²/3 + 6x/3 - 12y/3 - 6/3 = 0
=> x² + y² + 2x - 4y -2 = 0
Now comparing it with x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + C =0
2g = 2 , 2f = -4 , C= -2
g = 2 / 2 f = -4 / 2
g = 1 f = -2
Coordinate of center of the circle = ( -g , -f )
= ( - 1 , 2 )
(-1 2)
