Find the equation of the tangent to the circle `x^2 + y^2-30x+6y+109=0` at `(4, -1)`

A

`11x-2y-46=0`

B

`11x-3y-47=0`

C

`10x-3y-43=0`

D

`11x+2y-42=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Replacing
`x^(2)by4x, y^(2)"by"(-1)y=-y, x "by" (x+4)/(2)` and y by `(y+(-1))/(2)`
in the equation of the circle , we obtain
`4x+(-y)-30((x+4)/(2))+6((y+(-1))/(2))+109=0`
`rArr 4x-y-15x-60+3y-3+109=0`
`rArr -11x+2y+46=0 rArr 11x-2y-46=0`
Hence, the equation of the tangentis `11x-2y-46=0`.
