Q33 of 63 Page 202

State whether the statements True or False. Justify

The line x + 3y = 0 is a diameter of the circle x2 + y2 + 6x + 2y = 0.

x2 + 6x + 9 + y2 + 2y + 1 – 10 = 0



So, the centre points are (-3, -1)


Diameter Line has to pass through the mentioned centre points,


x + 3y = 0


(-3) + 3 (-1) = -6 ≠ 0


FALSE, as it (-3, -1) does not satisfy or lie on the diameter line.
