Find the equation of the normal at P of the circle S = 0 where P and S are given by P = (3, –4), S ≡ x2 + y2 + x + y – 24. |

Answer» Equation of the normal is (x – x1) (y1 + f) – (y – y1) (x1 + g) = 0 (x – 3) (– 4 + 1/2) – (y + 4) (3 + 1/2) = 0 – 7/2 (x –3) – 7/2 (y + 4) = 0 ⇒ (x – 3) + (y + 4) = 0 x – 3 + y + 4 = 0 x + y + 1 = 0 |
