Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3 x+4 y=15\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of circle is \(x^{2}+y^{2}=9\) ...(i) And equation of line is \(3 x+4 y=0\) ....(ii) Equation of line parallel to the line (ii) . \(=\) \[ \begin{aligned} 3 x+4 y &=k \\ y &=\frac{-3 x}{4}+\frac{k}{4} ...(iii) \end{aligned} \] \(\because\) Circle touches the line (iii),…
