If the circles and intersect in two distinct points and , then the line passes through and for:
- Aexactly one value of
- Bno value of
- Cinfinitely many values of
- Dexactly two values of
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The line passing through the intersection points and of two circles and is the radical axis: . The given line is .For these two to be the same line: From .The discriminant of this quadratic in is .Since there are no real values for , the condition is never satisfied.
