Radical axis :

a) ñ the given circles intersect at two

center points the radical axis passes
X through the intersection points,
The radical axis is always
center
perpendicular to the line joining the
eradical axis centers of the given circles.

b) If the given circles are tangent to its

center other, the radical axis is tangent to
each other. The radical axis is
-X always perpendicular to the line
joining the centers of the given
circles.
