The value of c such that the straight line joining the points (0,3) and (5,-2) is tangent to the curve y= c x+1 is
Options
- A3
- B4
- C5
- D2
Correct answer
B. 4
Step-by-step solution
Equation of line joining (0,3) and (5,-2) is aligned & y-3 x =-1 x+y-3=0 ...(i) & y= c x+1 d y d x = -c (x+1)^2 =-1 & c=(x+1)^2 & y=x+1 x-y+1=0...(ii) aligned Solving (i) and (ii), x=1, y=2 c=(x+2)^2=4
