The differential equation of the family of circles passing through the origin and having centre at the line y = x is [2024]
(2)
Let (k, k) be the centre of circle, so equation of circle with radius r is given by
Now, circle is passing through origin
So, equation of circle becomes
... (i)
On differentiating (i) w.r.t. x, we get
2x + 2yy' – 2k – 2ky' = 0
Substituting the value of k in (i) we get
is the required differential equation.
