A line through $$A (-5, -4)$$ meets the line $$x + 3y + 2 = 0,$$ $$2x + y + 4 = 0$$ and $$x - y - 5 = 0$$ at the points $$B, C$$ and $$D$$ respectively. If $${\left( {15/AB} \right)^2} + {\left( {10/AC} \right)^2} = {\left( {6/AD} \right)^2},$$ find the equation of the line.

The equation of the locus of the mid-points of the circle $$4{x^2} + 4{y^2} - 12x + 4y + 1 = 0$$ that subtend an angle of $$2\pi /3$$ at its centre is.................................

The locus of the centre of a circle, which touches externally the circle $${x^2} + {y^2} - 6x - 6y + 14 = 0$$ and also touches the y-axis, is given by the equation:

Find the coordinates of the point at which the circles $${x^2}\, + \,{y^2} - \,4x - \,2y = - 4\,\,and\,\,{x^2}\, + \,{y^2} - \,12x - \,8y = - 36$$ touch each other. Also find equations common tangests touching the circles in the distinct points.
