  1. A \(4 x-3 y+6=0\)
  2. B \(y+2=0\)
  3. C \(4 x+3 y-6=0\)
  4. D \(2 x+3=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4 x-3 y+6=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Line is normal to circle \(x^2+y^2-4 y-6=0\) \(\therefore\) It passes through centre \((0,2)\). Let \(m\) be slope of line. \(\therefore\) Equation of line is \(y-2=m x\) \[ \Rightarrow \quad m x-y+2=0 \] This line is tangent to \(x^2+y^2-2 x-3=0\) centre is \((1,0)\), radius is…
