Detailed Solution
Let S'=x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 . Centre (−g,−f) lies on 2x−2y+9=0 .∴ −2g+2f+9=0 .S cuts the circle x2+y2−4=0 orthogonally,∴ C−4=0 .∴ S=x2+y2+(2f+9)x+2fy+4=0 ⇒ S=(x2+y2+9x+4)+2f(x+y)=0 Every member of this family passes through the points of intersection ofx2+y2+9x+4=0 and x+y=0 i.e., through the points (−1/2,1/2) and (−4,4) .
