And then r? = Horse? =(a-2)? +(-2a+ 1)? =5a? -8a+5
If the circle is tangent to the straight line, the distance from the center of the circle M(a, -2a) to the straight line is d = r.
Distance formula from point to straight line, d=|-a- 1|/√2.
d? =r?
Namely: (a+ 1)? /2=5a? -8a+5
Answer? +2a+ 1= 10a? - 16a+ 10
9a? - 18a+9=0
Answer? -2a+ 1=0
a= 1
So, M( 1, -2), r? =2
So, the equation of a circle is: (x- 1)? +(y+2)? =2
