The equation of a circle with radius 5 and touching both the coordinate axes is
Given that the circle having radius 5 touches both the coordinate axes.
Let us assume the circle touches the co - ordinate axes at (a,0) and (0,a). Then the circle will have the centre at (a, a) and radius |a|.
It is given that the radius is 5 units.
The centre of the circle is (±5,±5).
We know that the equation of the circle with centre (p, q) and having radius ‘r’ is given by:
⇒ (x - p)2 + (y - q)2 = r2
Now we substitute the corresponding values in the equation:
⇒ (x±5)2 + (y±5)2 = (5)2
⇒ x2±10x + 25 + y2±10y + 25 = 25
⇒ x2 + y2±10x±10y + 25 = 0
∴The correct option is (c).
