Question 968462: Find an equation(s) of the circle(s) of radius 4 with center on the line 4x + 3y + 7 = 0 and tangent to
3x + 4y + 34 = 0
i already solved this problem, but my teacher
asked me a follow-up question ; how did the textbook get radius = 4
thank you so much in advance

You can choose the radius to be any number.
Radius equal to 4 is an arbitrary choice.
