System of co-axial circles whose limiting points are given

Let (α,β ) and ( γ ,δ ) be the two given limiting points

Then corresponding circles with zero radii are

(x–α)2 +(y–β )2 = 0 = x2 +y2 –2αx–2β y+α22 = 0

(x– γ )2 +(y–δ )2 = 0 = x2 +y2 –2 γ x–2 δ y+ γ22 = 0

System of co-axial circle equation is

x2 +y2 –2αx–2β y+α22 +λ(x2 +y2 –2 γ x+2 δ y+ γ22 ) = 0 (λ ≠ –1)

centre of this circle is 

\(\left(\frac{\alpha+γλ}{1+λ},\frac{β +δλ}{1+λ }\right)------(1)\)

and radius= \(\sqrt{\left(\frac{α +γλ}{1+λ}\right)^2+\left(\frac{β+δλ}{1+λ}\right)^2-\frac{(α^2 + β^2 +λγ^2+λδ^2)}{1+λ}}=0\)

After solving find λ substitute in (1)

We get the limiting point of co-axial system
