The normal to the curve y(x – 2)(x – 3) = x + 6 at the point where the curve intersects the y-axis passes through the point :
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
y(x –2) (x–3) = x + 6
Intersection with y-axis ;
Put x = 0 ⇒ y = 1
⇒ Point of Intersection is (0, 1)
Now vc , y = 
y' = 
y' = 
= 1 at (0,1)
∴ Equation of normal is given by
(y –1) = –1 (x – 0)
x + y –1 = 0
