The given circle is x2+y26x6y+14=0 

CC13,3,r1=9+9-14=2

Suppose that x1,y1 be any point on the locus, so it is centre of the other circle.

Since it touches the y- axis radius is x1

And both circles touch each other externally, so that c1c2=r1+r2

Hence

x1-32+y1-32=x1+22

Simplify and then generalize the above equation

Therefore, the required locus is y26y10x+14=0
