The line 21 x+5 y=116 is a tangent to the hyperbola 7 x²-5 y²=232 . Its point of contact is
Options
- A(-6,-2)
- B(6,2)
- C(6,-2)
- D(-6,2)
Correct answer
C. (6,-2)
Step-by-step solution
The line 21 x+5 y=116 is a tangent to 7 x²-5 y²=232 . If P (x₁, y₁ ) is the point of contact, then S₁=0 . aligned & 7 x₁ x-5 y₁ y=232 It is same as 21 x+5 y=116 & 7 x₁ 21 =- 5 y₁ 5 = 232 116 =2 & x₁=6, y₁=-2 . So, P is (6,-2) . aligned
