Sol: given centre C (-4, -3), point on the circle P(0, 0) Radius (r) =CP=( ) ( ) = equation of the circle with centre (-4, -3) and radius is ( ) ( ) ( ) x2+y2+8x+6y+16+9-25=0. x2+y2+8x+6y=0. 16 Find the equation of the circle passing through (2, 3) and concentric with

x 2 y 2 8 x 12 y 15 0 .
Sol: equation of the circle concentric with x2+y2+8x+12y+15=0, is in the form x2+y2+8x+12y+k=0. Since it is passes through (2, 3) 4+9+16+36+k=0 65+ k=0 k=-65 required eqn of the circle is x2+y2+8x+12y-65=0, 17 Find the pole of x + y + 2 = 0 with respect to the circle x2 + y2 4x + 6y 12 = 0.
