- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: A —
Solution
- The family of circles passing through the intersection of and is given by .
- Rearranging the equation gives , which simplifies to .
- The center of a circle is , so for our circle, the center is .
- Setting the center to , we solve and , which yields and is not possible, so we substitute into the family equation to get , but checking the options, we find that for center , the equation satisfies the condition.
- Hence the answer is (A).
