The radical axis of any two circles is $ \dots $ to the line joining their centres.

The circle $S=0$ cuts the circles $C_1=x^2+y^2-8x-2y+16=0$ and $C_2=x^2+y^2-4x-4y-1=0$ orthogonally. If the common chord of $S=0$ and $C_1=0$ is $2x+13y-15=0$,then the centre of $S=0$ is

If the circles $x^2 + y^2 + 2ax + c = 0$ and $x^2 + y^2 + 2by + c = 0$ touch each other,then:

If $\left(0, \frac{3}{4}\right)$ is the radical centre of the circles $S \equiv x^2+y^2+\alpha x+6y=0$,$S^{\prime} \equiv x^2+y^2+2\alpha x+\alpha y+6=0$ and $S^{\prime\prime} \equiv x^2+y^2+6\alpha x-\alpha y+3=0$,then the distance between the radical centre and the centre of the circle $S^{\prime}=0$ is:
