Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{7}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Points \((6,-k)\) and \((-3,2)\) are conjugate points to the circle \(x^2+y^2+6 x+4 y+12=0\) \(\therefore\) We know that if \(\left(x_1, y_1\right)\) and \(\left(x_2, y_2\right)\) are conjugate points of circle \[ x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0 \] Then,…
