A circle passes through the points (2, 2) and (9, 9) and touches the x-axis. The absolute value of the difference of possible x-coordinate of the point of contact is ______
A circle passes through the points (2, 2) and (9, 9) and touches the x-axis. The absolute value of the difference of possible x-coordinate of the point of contact is ______
Family of circle through (2, 2) and (9, 9), (x-2) (x-9) + (y-2) (y-9) + λ (y-x) = 0
Touches y=0 (x-axis)
(x-2) (x-9) + 18 - λx = 0
x² - 11x - λx + 36 = 0
x² - (11+λ)x + 36 = 0 has repeated roots
D = 0 ⇒ λ = 1, λ = -23
x = 6 or x = -6
Difference = 12
