The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the slope of the straight line that represents the locus of the intersection of tangents drawn to the circle \( x^2 + y^2 = 1 \) at its intersection points with the second circle given by \( x^2 + y^2 + (\lambda - 3)x + (2\lambda + 2)y + 2 = 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the circles**: - The first circle is \( C_1: x^2 + y^2 = 1 \). - The second circle is \( C_2: x^2 + y^2 + (\lambda - 3)x + (2\lambda + 2)y + 2 = 0 \). 2. **Find the intersection points**: - To find the intersection points of the circles, we can set the equations equal to each other. We can rewrite \( C_2 \) as: \[ x^2 + y^2 + (\lambda - 3)x + (2\lambda + 2)y + 2 = 0 \] - Substituting \( x^2 + y^2 = 1 \) into the equation of \( C_2 \): \[ 1 + (\lambda - 3)x + (2\lambda + 2)y + 2 = 0 \] \[ (\lambda - 3)x + (2\lambda + 2)y + 3 = 0 \] 3. **Equation of the chord of intersection**: - The equation of the chord of intersection can be expressed as: \[ S_1 - S_2 = 0 \] - Where \( S_1 = x^2 + y^2 - 1 \) and \( S_2 = x^2 + y^2 + (\lambda - 3)x + (2\lambda + 2)y + 2 \). - Thus, we have: \[ (x^2 + y^2 - 1) - (x^2 + y^2 + (\lambda - 3)x + (2\lambda + 2)y + 2) = 0 \] - Simplifying gives: \[ -(\lambda - 3)x - (2\lambda + 2)y - 3 = 0 \] - Rearranging: \[ (\lambda - 3)x + (2\lambda + 2)y = -3 \] 4. **Finding the slope of the line**: - The equation can be rearranged to the form \( Ax + By + C = 0 \): \[ (\lambda - 3)x + (2\lambda + 2)y + 3 = 0 \] - The slope \( m \) of the line is given by: \[ m = -\frac{A}{B} = -\frac{\lambda - 3}{2\lambda + 2} \] 5. **Condition for the locus to be a straight line**: - For the locus of intersection of the tangents to be a straight line, the coefficients of \( \lambda \) must be constant. This means that the expression must yield a linear relationship in \( x \) and \( y \). 6. **Finding the specific slope**: - We can set \( \lambda = 3 - 3h \) and \( k = 2\lambda + 2 \) to find the slope: \[ 6h - 3k = 8 \] - Substituting \( h \) and \( k \) gives us: \[ 6x - 3y = 8 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ y = 2x - \frac{8}{3} \] - Thus, the slope \( m = 2 \). ### Final Answer: The slope of the straight line is \( \boxed{2} \).
