Given the equation of the line
:
x^2 + y^2 = 34
We need to
find the tangent line at the point ( -3,5)
First we will
differentiate with respect to x.
==> 2x + 2yy' =
0
==> 2yy' =
-2x
==> y' =
-2x/2y
==> y' =
-x/y
Now we will substitute with the point (-3,5) to find
the slope.
==> m = y' = -(-3)/5 =
3/5
Then the equation of the line is given by
:
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
==>
y-5 = (3/5) (x+3)
==> y= (3/5)x + 9/5 +
5
==> y= (3/5)x +
34/5
Then the equation of the line
is:
==> 5y - 3x -34 = 0
