The correct answer is: x2+y2-x=0

Equation of chord of circle Sx2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 in terms of the mid point Mx1,y1 is y-y1=-x1+gy1+fx-x1

which is designated by T=S1.

Now compare the given equation of circle with Sx2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 we get

g=-1,f=0

Now,

y-y1=-x1+gy1+fx-x1

-y1=-x1-1y1-x1

-y12=x12-x1

Now replace x1,y1 by  x,y we get

x2+y2-x=0
