Consider the circle $C : x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 8y - 11 = 0$. Let a variable chord $AB$ of the circle $C$ subtend a right angle at the origin. If the locus of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin on the chord $AB$ is the circle $x^2 + y^2 - \alpha x - \beta y - \gamma = 0$, then $\alpha + \beta + 2\gamma$ is equal to . . . . . .

If $A$ and $B$ are the points of intersection of the circle $x^2+y^2-8x=0$ and the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{4}=1$,and a point $P$ moves on the line $2x-3y+4=0$,then the centroid of $\triangle PAB$ lies on the line:

Let $C$ be the circle with centre $(0,0)$ and radius $3$ units. The equation of the locus of the midpoints of the chords of the circle $C$ that subtend an angle of $\frac{2\pi}{3}$ at its centre is:
