4. Find the equation of the circle with centre at the point (1, 5)

er
and which passes through the point (7, -1).
We know that equation of circle centered at α, β is (x − α)2 +
(y − β)2 = r2 , where r is radius.
∴ our equation of circle is (x − 1)2 + (y − 5)2 = r2
⇒ x2 − 2x + 1 + y 2 − 10y + 25 = r2 since, (7,-1) passed through
