Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let S1:x2+y2-6x-8y+9=0 Here. centre is C13,4 and radius r1=4 units. S2:x2+y2+2x-2y+1=0 Here. centre is C2-1,1 and radius is r2=1 unit. C1C2=16+9=5=r1+r2 Therefore, given circles are non-intersecting and touces each other. Required equation of transverse common tangent of the…
