Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((1,-2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation is \(\begin{aligned} & & 4 x^2+9 y^2-8 x+36 y+4 & =0 \\ \Rightarrow & & 4(x-1)^2+9(y+2)^2 & =36 \\ \Rightarrow & & \frac{(x-1)^2}{9}+\frac{(y+2)^2}{4} & =1 \end{aligned}\) If we shift the origin to \((l,-2)\), the equation reduce to…
