Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(y=1 \pm \sqrt{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of given ellipse \[ \begin{aligned} & 9 x^2+4 y^2-18 x-8 y-23=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 9(x-1)^2+4(y-1)^2=36 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{(x-1)^2}{4}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{9}=1 \\ & \end{aligned} \] Equation of latus rectum is…
