Question:medium
The circle passing through \( (1, -2) \) and touching the \(x\)-axis at \( (3, 0) \) also passes through the point:
The circle passing through \( (1, -2) \) and touching the \(x\)-axis at \( (3, 0) \) also passes through the point:
Show Hint
If a circle touches the \(x\)-axis, its center lies on a vertical line through the point of contact, and radius equals the vertical distance to the axis.
