Let the point B be the reflection of the point A2,3 with respect to the line 8x−6y−23=0. Let CA and CB be circles of radii 2 and 1 with centers A and B respectively. Let T be a common tangent to the circles CA and CB such that both the circles are on the same side of T. If C is the point of intersection of C and the line passing through A and B, then the length of the line segment AC is ______

Detailed Solution
Centre of the circles CA=2,3 and CBPerpendicular distance from A to the line 8𝑥−6𝑦−23=0 is AD = 82-63-2382+62= 52 ∴AB=2 AD=5 and suppose that BC=x ∴5+xx=21⇒x=5 ( from the similar triangle property)∴AC=5+x=10
