Answer :
Let the required equation of circle be
x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 ….. (1)
As circle passes through (0,0),(-2,0)(0,3)
Putting (0,0) in (1) to get,
0+0+0+0+c = 0
⇒ c= 0
Thus (1) becomes,
x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy = 0 ….. (2)
Putting (-2,0) in (2) to get,
(-2)2 + 02 – 4g + 0 = 0
⇒ 4g = 4
g = 1
Putting (0,3) in (2) to get,
0 + 32 + 0 + 6f = 0
9 + 6f = 0
6f = -9
f = -3/2
Putting g = 1, f=-3/2 in (2) we get,
x2 + y2 + 2x – 3y= 0
