    Find circle through (−3,1) and two intersection points of given circles

    Please help me find the standard equation of the circle passing through the point (−3,1) and containing the points of intersection of the circles x^2 + y^2 + 5x = 1 and x^2 + y^2 + y = 7 I don't know how to begin, I am used to tangent lines or other points, but I don't know what is visually...

    Finding circles with radius 10 tangent to x² + y² = 25 at (3,4)

    is there a algebraic way of solving it using distance formulas like d = |ax+by+c|/sqrt(a^2+b^2°+) or something else? I solved for eqn of line of the that passes thru both the small and large circle being y=4/3x, and set k=4/3h since it passes thru the large circle as well (i think), with this...

    Finding circles with radius 10 tangent to x² + y² = 25 at (3,4)

    please help me find the standard equation of the circles that have radius 10 and are tangent to the circle X^2 + y^2 = 25 at the point (3,4). the soln: (x-9)^2 + (y-12)^2 = 100, (x+3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 100, i found the eqn that intersects the centre of the small circle and the larger one to be...
