Q. The point diametrically opposite to the point $P(1,0)$ on the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}+2 x+4 y-3=0$ is

Conic Sections

Solution:

The given circle is $x^{2}+y^{2}+2 x+4 y-3=0$
image
Centre $(-1,-2)$
Let $Q(\alpha, \beta)$ be the point diametrically opposite to
the point $P(1,0)$
then $\frac{1+\alpha}{2}=-1$ and $\frac{0+\beta}{2}=-2 $
$ \Rightarrow \alpha=-3, \beta=-4$
So, $Q$ is $(-3,-4)$
