The eccentricity of an ellipse whose centre is at the origin is . If one of its directrices is , then the equation of the normal to it at is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Given, and
Also, ⇒ {b}^{2} = 3
Equation of ellipse is
We know that, equation of normal to the ellipse at \left({x}_{1}, {y}_{1}\right)\dfrac{{a}^{2}x}{{x}_{1}} - \dfrac{{b}^{2}y}{{y}_{1}} = {a}^{2} - {b}^{2} is -
