The correct Answer is:
To find the pole of the straight line \(2x - y = 6\) with respect to the circle \(5x^2 + 5y^2 = 9\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Circle Equation First, we rewrite the equation of the circle in standard form: \[ 5x^2 + 5y^2 = 9 \implies x^2 + y^2 = \frac{9}{5} \] This means the circle is centered at the origin with a radius of \(\sqrt{\frac{9}{5}}\). ### Step 2: Identify the Line Equation The given line equation is: \[ 2x - y - 6 = 0 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ y = 2x - 6 \] ### Step 3: Polar Equation of the Circle For the circle \(x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0\), we have: - \(g = 0\) - \(f = 0\) - \(c = -\frac{9}{5}\) The polar equation with respect to a point \((\alpha, \beta)\) is given by: \[ x\alpha + y\beta + \frac{9}{5} = 0 \] ### Step 4: Set Up the Polar Equation Since the line \(2x - y - 6 = 0\) is the polar of the point \((\alpha, \beta)\), we can equate the coefficients of the polar equation to that of the line: \[ \frac{9}{5} = -6 \quad \text{(constant term)} \] \[ \beta = -1 \quad \text{(coefficient of } y\text{)} \] \[ 2 = \alpha \quad \text{(coefficient of } x\text{)} \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) From the equations, we can solve for \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\): 1. From the coefficient of \(x\): \[ 2 = 5\alpha \implies \alpha = \frac{2}{5} \] 2. From the coefficient of \(y\): \[ -1 = 5\beta \implies \beta = -\frac{1}{5} \] ### Step 6: Conclusion Thus, the pole of the line \(2x - y = 6\) with respect to the circle \(5x^2 + 5y^2 = 9\) is: \[ \left(\frac{2}{5}, -\frac{1}{5}\right) \]
