Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((-2,-16)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of circle, \[ x^2+y^2-6 x+8 y-144=0 \] Comparing with \(x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0\) \[ \begin{aligned} 2 g & =-6 \Rightarrow g=-3 \\ 2 f & =8 \Rightarrow f=4 \end{aligned} \] Centre \((-g,-f)=(3,-4)\) We know that, normal to a circle passes through its centre. Let…
