A curve passes through the point \((3,2)\) for which the segment of the tangent line contained between the co-ordinate axes is bisected at the point of contact. The equation of the curve is

  1. A \(y=x^2-7\)
  2. B \(x=\frac{y^2}{2}+2\)
  3. C \(x y=6\)
  4. D \(x^2+y^2-5 x+7 y+11=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x y=6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{x}{x_1}+\frac{y}{y_1}=2\) \(\because\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\left(x_1, y_1\right)}=-\frac{y_1}{x_1}\)…
