prove that   equation of a circle passing through  the points of intersection of a circle  S=0 and a line L=0 can be taken as  S+λL=0 where λ is a parameter

say intersection at (a,b)  S(a,b)=0  L(a,b)=0  S(a,b)+λL(a,b)=0  ⇒S(x,y)+λL(x,y)=0 is a circle  passing through (a,b).
sayintersectionat(a,b)S(a,b)=0L(a,b)=0S(a,b)+λL(a,b)=0S(x,y)+λL(x,y)=0isacirclepassingthrough(a,b).

ofcourse when two curves intersect   at a point P  then it satifies both   the equation.   i need to know how can we prove   that general form represent a circle?

if S(x,y)=0 is a circle, then  S(x,y)=Ax^2 +Bx+Ay^2 +Cy+D=0    is L(x,y)=0 is a line, then  L(x,y)=Kx+Hy+G=0    S(x,y)+λL(x,y)=0  Ax^2 +(B+λK)x+Ay^2 +(C+λH)y+D+λG=0  this is also a circle.
ifS(x,y)=0isacircle,thenS(x,y)=Ax2+Bx+Ay2+Cy+D=0isL(x,y)=0isaline,thenL(x,y)=Kx+Hy+G=0S(x,y)+λL(x,y)=0Ax2+(B+λK)x+Ay2+(C+λH)y+D+λG=0thisisalsoacircle.

condition that the equation   ax^2 +ay^2 +2gx+2fy+c=0 represent  a circle is g^2 +f^2 −ac ≥ 0 ∵radius ≥0  i would like to verify the condition   (((B+λK)/2))^2 +(((C+λH)/2))^2 −A(D+λG) ≥0  consider   (((B+λK)/2))^2 +(((C+λH)/2))^2 −A(D+λG)  [((B/2))^2 +((C/2))^2 −AD]+λ(BK+CH−AG)+((λ^2 (K^2 +H^2 ))/4)  some confusion to proceed from this
