A circle has its centre at (4, 4). If one end of a diameter is (4, 0), then the coordinates of the other end are:

  1. (0, 4)

  2. (4, 8)

  3. (4, -8)

  4. (-4, -8)

Answer

Let one end of the diameter be A(4, 0) and the other end be B(x, y). Given that the centre of the circle is (4, 4), which is the mid-point of AB.

A circle has its centre at (4, 4). If one end of a diameter is (4, 0), then the coordinates of the other end are: Reflection, RSA Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

By mid-point formula,

(x, y) = (x1+x22,y1+y22)\Big(\dfrac{x1 + x2}{2}, \dfrac{y1 + y2}{2}\Big)

Substituting values we get :

(4,4)=(4+x2,0+y2)4=4+x2 and 4=y2x+4=8 and y=8x=84=4 and y=8.\Rightarrow (4, 4) = \Big(\dfrac{4 + x}{2}, \dfrac{0 + y}{2}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 4 = \dfrac{4 + x}{2} \text{ and } 4 = \dfrac{y}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x + 4 = 8 \text{ and } y = 8 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 8 - 4 = 4 \text{ and } y = 8.

The coordinates of the other end of the diameter are (4, 8).

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
