let eq. of circle be  x^2 +y^2 +2gx+2fy=0     (c=0)  for two circles to cut orthogonally     2g_1 g_2 +2f_1 f_2 =c_1 +c_2   , so      −4g+6f=10    , and        12f=6   ⇒  2f =1     and  2g=−(7/2)  eq. of circle is therefore      x^2 +y^2 −((7x)/2)+y=0    or     2x^2 +2y^2 −7x+2y=0  .

is it correct, if so did you follow ?

$${is}\:{it}\:{correct},\:{if}\:{so}\:{did}\:{you}\:{follow}\:? \\ $$

Yes correct surely Thanks! But if we don't remember this condition we can't do this? Are we to learn all these conditions in Conic Sections?
