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.

$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{commom}\:\mathrm{chord}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{circles}\:\mathrm{is}: \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}−\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}−\mathrm{2}{y}−\mathrm{4}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{2}{y}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\therefore\:\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{common}\:\mathrm{chord}\:\mathrm{passes}\:\mathrm{through}\:\mathrm{the} \\ $$$$\mathrm{origin}. \\ $$

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

$$\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\:{g}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{0},{f}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{0},{c}_{\mathrm{1}} =−\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}−\mathrm{2}{y}−\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${g}_{\mathrm{2}} =−\mathrm{2}\:,{f}_{\mathrm{2}} =−\mathrm{1},{c}_{\mathrm{2}} =−\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${equation}\:{of}\:{common}\:{chord} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{0}+\mathrm{2}\right){x}+\left(\mathrm{0}+\mathrm{1}\right){y}+\left(−\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{4}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}{x}+{y}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\therefore\:{passes}\:{origin}\:\left({ax}+{by}=\mathrm{0}\:{form}\right) \\ $$$${Other}\:{way} \\ $$$$\:{c}_{\mathrm{1}} −{c}_{\mathrm{2}} =−\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\therefore\:{common}\:{chord}\:{passes}\:{origin} \\ $$
