5 days ago · An (infinite) line determined by two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) may intersect a circle of radius r and center (0, 0) in two imaginary points (left figure), a degenerate single point (corresponding to the line being tangent to the circle; middle figure), or two real points (right figure).

A line can intersect a circle in three possible ways, as shown below: 1. We obtain two points of the intersection if a line intersects or cuts through the circle, as shown in the diagram below. We can see that in the above figure, the line meets the circle at two points. This line is called the secant to the circle. 2. If we draw a tangent line to ...
There are two methods to think about this. Method 1: Let us consider the equation of the circle be \({x^2} + {y^2} = {a^2}.\) And that of the line be \(y = mx + c.\) First, if we want to solve the two equations in two unknowns, we need to frame a quadratic equation in \(x.\) Substitute the linear equation in the circle’s equation. Linear equations ...
Q.1. Prove that the line \(y = x + 4\) intersects the circle \({x^2} + {y^2} + 8x + 2y – 84 = 0.\) Ans: We are given a linear equation \(y=x+4.\) The equation of a circle is \({x^2} + {y^2} + 8x + 2y – 84 = 0.\) Substitute \(y = x + 4\) in the equation of the circle \({x^2} + {y^2} + 8x + 2y – 84 = 0.\) \({x^2} + {\left( {x + 4} \right)^2} + 8x + 2...
In this article, we have discussed line and circle and their general forms. Then we saw the three cases of the intersection of a circle and a line. Also, we discussed the two methods of finding the intersection of a circle and a line in detail.
Q.1. What does it mean for a line to intersect a circle at one point? Ans:If a line intersects a circle at only one point, that line will be a tangent to the circle. Q.2. How do you find the intersection of a circle and a line? Ans:We can find the distance of the line from the centre of the circle. If the distance is less than the radius, the line ...
Nov 4, 2012 · The basic equation for a circle is (x − c)2 + (y − d)2 =r2, where r is the radius and c and d are the x and y shifts of the center of the circle away from (0, 0). I'm trying to come up with an equation for determining the intersection points for a straight line through a circle.
There are three ways a line and a circle can be associated, ie the line cuts the circle at two distinct points, the line is a tangent to the circle or the line misses the...
A line that intersects the circle at two points is termed a secant line. A line that intersects the circle at just one point is known as a tangent line. If a line does not intersect the circle at all, it is referred to as an external line. Demonstrating the Theorem. Let's consider a proof by contradiction to demonstrate this theorem.
The discriminant Δ = 𝐵 − 4 𝐴 𝐶 of the quadratic 𝐴 𝑥 + 𝐵 𝑋 + 𝐶 = 0 tells us about the intersections of the line and the circle. If Δ > 0, then the line and the circle intersect in two points. If Δ = 0, then the line is tangent to the circle.
