Question

The point diametrically opposite to the point P(1, 0) on the circle x2+y2+2x+4y3=0x^{2} + y^{2} + 2x + 4y − 3 = 0​ is:

A.

​​​(3,4) (3, −4)​​

B.

​​​(3,4)(−3, 4)​​

C.

​​​(3,4) (−3, −4)​​

D.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(3,4) (3, 4)​​

Correct option is C

Given:
Point P = (1, 0)
Circle: x2+y2+2x+4y3=0x^{2} + y^{2} + 2x + 4y − 3 = 0​​
Formula used:
For a circle, the midpoint of the endpoints of a diameter is the center.
If P(x₁, y₁) and Q(x₂, y₂) are diametrically opposite points, then
Center O = (x1+x22,y1+y22) \left( \frac{x₁ + x₂}{2}, \frac{y₁ + y₂}{2} \right)​​
Solution:
Rewrite the circle in standard form:
(x+1)2+(y+2)2=8(x + 1)^{2} + (y + 2)^{2} = 8​​
So the center O = (−1, −2)
Let the required point be Q(x, y).
Using midpoint formula with P(1, 0):
1+x2=10+y2=2\frac{1 + x}{2} = −1\\\frac{0 + y}{2} = −2​​
Solving:
1+x=2=>x=3y=41 + x = −2 => x = −3\\y = −4​​
So the diametrically opposite point is (−3, −4).
The correct answer is (c) (3,4).(−3, −4).​​
