If the line $4 x+4 y-11=0$ intersects the circle $x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y+4=0$ at $A$ and $B$, then the point of intersection of the tangents drawn at $A, B$ is
  1. $(-1,2)$
  2. $(-1,-2)$
  3. $(2,1)$
  4. $(-2,-1)$

Solution

Let required point of intersection is $\left(x_1, y_1\right)$, the equation of chord of contact with respect to given circle $x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y+4=0$ is $ \begin{aligned} & x x_1+y y_1-2\left(x+x_1\right)-3\left(y+y_1\right)+4=0 \\ & \Rightarrow\left(x_1-2\right) x+\left(y_1-3\right) y+\left(4-3 y_1-2 x_1\right)=0 \end{aligned} $ Let the Eq. (i) represent the line $A B, 4 x+4 y-11=0$ itself, then $ \frac{x_1-2}{4}=\frac{y_1-3}{4}=\frac{4-3 y_1-2 x_1}{-11}=K \text { (let) } $ Then, $ \begin{aligned} & x_1=4 K+2 \\ & y_1=4 K+3 \end{aligned} $ And $2 x_1+3 y_1-4=11 K$ From Eq. (ii) $ \begin{array}{rlrl} 8 K+4+12 K+9-4 & =11 K \\ & & 9 K+9 & =0 \\ \Rightarrow & & K & =-1, \\ & \text { So, } & \left(x_1, y_1\right) & =(-2,-1) . \end{array} $
