Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\pm 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{6ax+3x^2}{12y^2}\) \(m = \left.\frac{dy}{dx}\right|_{(a,a)} = \frac{6a^2+3a^2}{12a^2} = \frac{9a^2}{12a^2} = \frac{3}{4}\) \(y - a = \frac{3}{4}(x - a) \implies 3x - 4y + a = 0\) x-intercept: \(-\frac{a}{3}\), y-intercept: \(\frac{a}{4}\) Area…
