Options:
  • A $x^2+y^2-61=0$
  • B $x^2+y^2-52=0$
  • C $x^2+y^2-65=0$
  • D $x^2+y^2-74=0$

The correct answer is: $x^2+y^2-65=0$

Slope of $A D=3$
Slope of $\mathrm{BC}=-\frac{1}{3}$
equation of $\mathrm{BC}=3 \mathrm{y}+\mathrm{x}-17=0$
slope of $\mathrm{BE}=1$
Slope of $\mathrm{AC}=-1$
equation of $\mathrm{AC}$ is $\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}-3=0$
point $C$ is $(-4,7)$
