Find the equation of the normal to the curve `x^2+2y^2-4x-6y+8=0` at the point whose abscissa is 2.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `m` is the slope of tangent of the curve and `n` is the slope of normal to the curve.
Then, `m*n = -1=> n = -1/m`.
Now, equation of the curve,
`x^2+2y^2-4x-6y+8 = 0`
Differentiating it w.r.t. `x`,
`=>2x+4ydy/dx - 4 -6dy/dx = 0`
`=>dy/dx = (4-2x)/(4y-6)`
`:. m = (4-2x)/(4y-6)`.
