Question:medium

The locus of midpoints of the chords of the circle \[ x^2+y^2-2x-2y+1=0 \] which are parallel to the line \[ x+y+2=0 \] is

Show Hint

The line joining the centre of a circle to the midpoint of a chord is always perpendicular to the chord. Hence, the locus of the midpoints of a family of parallel chords is a diameter perpendicular to those chords.
