What does theequation (x – a) 2 + (y – b) 2 = r2 becomewhen the axes are transferred to parallel axes through the point (a-c, b)?



Answer -

Given:

The equation, (x – a) 2 +(y – b) 2 = r2

The given equation (x – a)2 +(y – b)2 = r2 can be transformed into the newequation by changing x by x – a + c and y by y – b, i.e. substitution of x by x+ a and y by y + b.

((x + a – c) – a)2 +((y – b ) – b)2 = r2

(x – c)2 + y2 = r2

x2 + c2 – 2cx + y2 =r2

x2 + y2 -2cx = r2 –c2

Hence, the transformed equation is x2 +y2 -2cx = r2 – c2
