The coordinates of the point on the x + y =6 at which the tangent is equally inclined to the axes is
Options
- A(4,4)
- B(1,1)
- C(9,9)
- D(6,6)
Correct answer
C. (9,9)
Step-by-step solution
Given, x + y =6 x + y =6 Differentiating w.r.t. x , we get 1 2 x + 1 2 y d y d x =0 d y d x =- y x Since, the tangent is equally inclined to the axes. aligned & d y d x = 1 - y x = 1 & y = x y=x & aligned Therefore, x + y =6 x + x =6 2 x =6 aligned & x =3 x=9 & x=9 aligned
