If the lines $$2x + 3y + 1 = 0$$ and $$3x - y - 4 = 0$$ lie along diameters of a circle of circumference $$10\pi$$, then the equation of the circle is
Since the given lines lie along diameters of the circle, their point of intersection is the centre of the circle.
Solving $$2x+3y+1=0$$ and $$3x-y-4=0,$$
from the second equation,
$$y=3x-4.$$
Substituting into the first equation,
$$2x+3(3x-4)+1=0$$
$$11x-11=0$$
$$x=1.$$
Therefore,
$$y=3(1)-4=-1.$$
Hence the centre of the circle is $$C(1,-1).$$
The circumference is $$10\pi.$$
Using $$2\pi r=10\pi,$$
we get $$r=5.$$
Therefore,
$$r^2=25.$$
The equation of the circle is $$(x-1)^2+(y+1)^2=25.$$
Expanding,
$$x^2-2x+1+y^2+2y+1=25.$$
$$x^2+y^2-2x+2y-23=0.$$
Hence the equation of the circle is $$\boxed{x^2+y^2-2x+2y-23=0}.$$
