  1. A \(3 x+y-14=0\)
  2. B \(3 x-y+2=0\)
  3. C \(x+y+3=0\)
  4. D \(x-y+6=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3 x-y+2=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given hyperbola is \(5 x^2-y^2=5\) or It can be rewritten as \(\frac{x^2}{1}-\frac{y^2}{5}=1\) Here, \(\therefore\) Equation of tangent is \(\begin{aligned} & y=m x \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2-b^2} \\ & y=m x \pm \sqrt{1 m^2-5}\end{aligned}\) But point \((2,8)\) lies on it.…
