show that the common chord of the  circle x^2 +y^2 =4 and x^2 +y^2 −4x−2y−4=0  passes through the origin.

The commom chord of the circles is:  x^2 +y^2 −4−(x^2 +y^2 −4x−2y−4)=0  ⇒4x+2y=0  ∴  the common chord passes through the  origin.

 x^2 +y^2 =4   g_1 =0,f_1 =0,c_1 =−4   x^2 +y^2 −4x−2y−4=0  g_2 =−2 ,f_2 =−1,c_2 =−4  equation of common chord  (0+2)x+(0+1)y+(−4+4)=0   ⇒2x+y=0  ∴ passes origin (ax+by=0 form)  Other way   c_1 −c_2 =−4+4=0  ∴ common chord passes origin
