If the four distinct points (4, 6), (–1, 5), (0, 0) and (k, 3k) lie on a circle of radius r, then is equal to [2025]
(4)
Let and .
Slope of line through point P and Q is
... (i)
Slope of line through point Q and R is
... (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
So, line passes by P and Q is perpendicular to line passes by Q and R.
So, P and R will represent end point of diameter of circle so we have
(x – 4)(x – 0) + (y – 6) (y – 0) = 0

Since (k, 3k) lies on it
k = 0,
Since, k = 0 is not possible, so
Also,
.
