Find the equation of tangents to the parabola y 2 = 9x, which pass through the point (4, 10).
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
4y = 9x + 4, 4y = x + 36
Sol. Let the equation of tangent is
y = mx + 
........ (i)
above equation pases through (4, 10)
10 = 4m + 
Find the two values of m and put it in the equation(i)
