Correct answer
A2xydydx+x2-y2+4=0

Step-by-step explanation

Given a circle passing through 0,-2 and 0,2, so its equation will be,

x-x1x-x2+y-y1y-y2+λ1xy1x1y11x2y21=0,λ1R

On putting the given values we get,

x-0x-0+y-2y+2+λ1xy10210-21=0,λ1R

x2+y2-4+λ14x=0 

x2+y2-4+λx=0,λR

Now dividing both side by x we get,

x2+y2-4x+λ=0

Now differentiating with respect to x

x2x+2y·dydx-x2+y2-4·1x2=0

2xy·dydx+x2-y2+4=0
