From the point A (0 , 3) on the circle x² + 4x + (y − 3)² = 0 a chord AB is drawn & extended to a point M such that AM = 2 AB. The equation of the locus of M is :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
B lies on circle 
+ 4 
+ 
= 0 ⇒ 
+ 2h + 
= 0
Hence locus of (h, k) x 2 + 8x + (y – 3) 2 = 0.
