Best answer

Since the line (x–2) cosθ+(y–2) sinθ = 1_______(1)

touches a circle so it is a tangent equation to a circle.

Equation of tangent to a circle at (x1 ,y1) is (x–h)x1 +(y–k)y1 = a2 to a circle (x-h)2+ (y–k)2 = a2 comparing (1) and (2) we get

x–h = x–2     y–k = y–2     and a2 = 1

x1 = 1cosθ    y1 = 1sinθ

∴Required equation of circle is

(x–2)2 + (y–2)2 = 1

x2 +y2 –4x–4y+7 = 0
