Equation of the tangent to the circle, at the point (1,−1)\left(1, - 1\right), whose center, is the point of intersection of the straight lines x−y=1and2x+y=3x - y = 1 and 2x + y = 3 is:Equation of the tangent to the circle, at the point (1, - 1) , whose center, is the point of intersection of the

Options

  1. Ax+4y+3=0x + 4y + 3 = 0
  2. B3x−y−4=03x - y - 4 = 0
  3. Cx−3y−4=0x - 3y - 4 = 0
  4. D4x+y−3=04x + y - 3 = 0

Correct answer

A. x+4y+3=0x + 4y + 3 = 0
