Intersection of line and circle centered at origin for JEE
Points of intersection of a line and a circle with the centre at the origin
Formula
\(x^2+y^2=a^2,\ y=mx+c\Rightarrow (1+m^2)x^2+2mcx+(c^2-a^2)=0\)
Variables: Circle radius \(a\), line slope \(m\), intercept \(c\).
Finding coordinates of intersection points, secant/tangent conditions.
