    Question

    Find the points of intersection of the line 4x3y=104x-3y=10​ and the circle x2+y22x+4y20=0x^2+y^2-2x+4y-20=0​.

    A.

    (4, 2) and (-2, -6)

    B.

    (-2, 3) and (4, 2)

    C.

    (-2, 3) and (4, 3)

    D.

    (2, -3) and (4, 2)

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    We need to find the points of intersection between the line 4x - 3y = 10 and the circle x2+y22x+4y20=0.x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 4y - 20 = 0 .
    Solution:

    Option (a) (4, 2) and (-2, -6):
    Put (4, 2) into both equations:
    Line: 4(4) - 3(2) = 16 - 6 = 10 
    Circle: 42+222(4)+4(2)20=16+48+820=0 4^2 + 2^2 - 2(4) + 4(2) - 20 = 16 + 4 - 8 + 8 - 20 = 0 ​​

    Put (-2, -6):
    Line: 4(-2) - 3(-6) = -8 + 18 = 10 
    Circle:(2)2+(6)22(2)+4(6)20=4+36+42420=0 (-2)^2 + (-6)^2 - 2(-2) + 4(-6) - 20 = 4 + 36 + 4 - 24 - 20 = 0 ​​
    Both points satisfy the original equations.

    Option (b) (-2, 3) and (4, 2):

    Line: 4(-2) - 3(3) = -8 - 9 = -1710\not=10

    Option (b) is wrong.

    Option (c) (-2, 3) and (4, 3):

    Line: 4(-2) - 3(3) = -8 - 9 = -1710\not=10

    ​Option (c) is wrong.

    Option (d) (2, -3) and (4, 2):

    Line: 4(2) - 3(-3) = 8 + 9 = 1710\not=10

    Option (d) is wrong.

    Thus, option (a) is right.
