Radical Axis of Circle
Let two circles be

S1 : x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0
S2 : x2+y2+2g’x+2f’y+c’=0
then equation on radical axis is S1 - S2 = 0
i.e., 2(g-g’)x+2(f-f’)+(c-c’) = 0
A radical axis of two circles is the locus of a point that moves in such a way that
the tangent lines drawn from it to the two circles are of the same length.
The radical axis of 2 circles is a line perpendicular to the line joining the centres.
