Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((1,0)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given curve, \(y=x^2-3 x+2\) On differentiating w.r.t. \(x\), \(\frac{d y}{d x}=2 x-3\) Which represents the slope of tangent drawn to the curve. \(m_1=2 x-3\) ...(i) Given line, \(\quad y=x\) ...(ii) On comparing with \(y=m x+c\) Slope of line (ii), \(m_2=1\) \(\therefore\)…
