x^2+y^2-6x+2y-15=0x2+y26x+2y15=0

Explanation:

Let l_1 : 4x-3y+10=0, and, l_2 : 3x+4y-30=0l1:4x3y+10=0,and,l2:3x+4y30=0 be the

given tgt. lines to the reqd. circle, say, SS. Note taht, l_1 bot l_2l1l2.

Also, let P(-1,2) and Q(6,3)P(1,2)andQ(6,3) be the pts. of contact of SS with

l_1 and l_2l1andl2, resp.

Let pt. CC be the Centre, and, rr the radius, of SS. Then, we

know, from Geometry, that,

"dist."CP="dist."CQ =r, and, "line "CP bot l_1, "line "CQ bot l_2dist.CP=dist.CQ=r,and,line CPl1,line CQl2.

Since, "line CP"nn"line "CQ={C}line CPline CQ={C}, we will obtain the co-ords. of

the centre CC by solving the eqns. of these lines.

Eqn. of line CP :-

"Line "CP botl_1, &, l_2botl_1Line CPl1,&,l2l1

rArr " line "CP |\| l_2 :3x+4y-30=0," with "P in CP line CPl2:3x+4y30=0, with PCP

" Eqn. of "CP : 3x+4y=3(-1)+4(2)=5.........(1)

Similarly, Eqn. of line CQ : 4x-3y=15..................(2)

Solving (1), &, (2), we get, the Centre C(3,-1).

Then, r=dist. CP=sqrt{(3+1)^2+(2+1)^2}=5

Finally, the eqn. of S : (x-3)^2+(y+1)^2=5^2, or,

x^2+y^2-6x+2y-15=0

Enjoy Maths.!
