    Let the tangent to the circle $\mathrm{C}_1: x^2+y^2=2$ at the point $\mathrm{M}(-1,1)$ intersect the circle $\mathrm{C}_2:(x-3)^2+(y-2)^2=5$, at two distinct points $A$ and $B$. If the tangents to $C_2$ at the points $A$ and $B$ intersect at $N$, then the area of the triangle ANB is equal to :

    Let the tangents at two points A and B on the circle $\mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{y}^2-4 \mathrm{x}+3=0$ meet at origin $\mathrm{O}(0,0)$. Then the area of the triangle OAB is:

    The equation of the chord of contact of the origin w.r.t. circle \mathrm{ x^2+y^2-2 x-4 y-4=0} is

    If chord of contacts are drawn to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1$ from different points on the line $4 x+25 y=100$, then each of these chords pass through which point

    The chords of contact of the pair of tangents drawn from each point on the line $2 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}=4$ to the circle $\mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{y}^2=1$ pass through a fixed point -

    Chord Bisected at a Given Point

    Equation of Chord Bisected at a Given Point 

    The equation of the chord $(A B)$ of the circle $S=0$ whose midpoint is $M\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ is

    coordinate of point O is $(0,0)$ and Point M is $\left(x_1, y_1\right)$
    slope of $\mathrm{OM}=\frac{0-\mathrm{y}_1}{0-\mathrm{x}_1}=\frac{\mathrm{y}_1}{\mathrm{x}_1}$
    $\therefore \quad$ slope of $\mathrm{AB}=-\frac{\mathrm{x}_1}{\mathrm{y}_1}$
    the, equation of $A B$ is $y-y_1=-\frac{x_1}{y_1}\left(x-x_1\right)$
    or

    $
    \mathrm{yy}_1-\mathrm{y}_1^2=\mathrm{xx}_1+\mathrm{x}_1^2
    $

    or

    $
    \mathrm{xx}_1+\mathrm{yy}_1-\mathrm{a}^2=\mathrm{x}_1^2+\mathrm{y}_1^2-\mathrm{a}^2 \quad \text { or } \quad \mathbf{T}=\mathbf{S}_1
    $

    Note:
    Same result $T=S_1$, can also be applied to get chord bisected at a given point for any circle of type $x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0$ as well.
