Question
Without changing the direction of coordinate axes, origin is transferred to (h, k), so that the linear (one degree)
terms in the equation x2+y24x+6y7=0 are eliminated. Then the point (h, k) is
Options:
A .  (3, 2)
B .  (- 3, 2)
C .  (2, - 3)
D .  (1.7)
Answer: Option C
:
C
Putting x = x' + h, y = y' + k, the given equation transforms to
x2+y2+x(2h4)+y(2k+6)+h2+k27=0
To eliminate linear terms, we should have
2h - 4 = 0, 2k + 6 = 0 h = 2, k = -3
i.e., (h, k) = (2, -3).
