[MP PET 1995]

Options:

A) (1, -3)

B) (-1, 3)

C) (1, 3)

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Given that $ \frac{x+1}{2}=\cos \theta $ .

Also $ \frac{y-3}{2}=\sin \theta $

$ \Rightarrow {{( \frac{x+1}{2} )}^{2}}+{{( \frac{y-3}{2} )}^{2}}=1 $

$ \Rightarrow {{(x+1)}^{2}}+{{(y-3)}^{2}}=4 $ , whose centre is $ (-1,\ 3) $ .
