Find the equations of all lines havin...

Find the equations of all lines having slope 2 and that are tangent to the curve `y=1/(x-3),\ \ x!=3` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `(x_{1}, y_{1})` be the point where the tangent is drawn to this curve.
Since, the point lies on the curve.
Hence,`y_{1}=frac{1}{x_{1}-3}`
` text { Now, } y =frac{1}{x-3} `
`Rightarrow frac{d y}{d x} =frac{-1}{(x-3)^{2}} `
Slope of tangent `=(frac{d y}{d x})=frac{-1}{(x_{1}-3)^{2}}`
Given that
Slope of the tangent `=2`
