Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(\frac{8}{3}, \frac{4}{3}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ y^2=a x^3+b \] Differentiate w.r.t ' \(x\) ' \[ \begin{gathered} 2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=3 a x^2 \\ \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{3 a x^2}{2 y} \end{gathered} \] Slope at \((1,2)\)…
