The equation of the tangent, to the curve \(y=x^2-2 x-3\) which is perpendicular to the line x + 2y + 3 = 0, is:

  1. A 4x - 2y = 7
  2. B 2x - y = 7
  3. C 2x - y = 5
  4. D 4x - 2y = 5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2x - y = 7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(m_{line} = -\frac{1}{2}\) \(m_{tangent} = -\frac{1}{m_{line}} = 2\) \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x - 2\) \(2x - 2 = 2 \Rightarrow 2x = 4 \Rightarrow x = 2\) \(y = (2)^2 - 2(2) - 3 = -3\) \(y - (-3) = 2(x - 2)\) \(y + 3 = 2x - 4\) \(2x - y = 7\)
