If the normal to the curve $y=f(x)$ at the point $(3,4)$ makes and angle $\left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)$ with positive $\mathrm{X}$-axis, then $f^{\prime}(3)$ is equal to
  1. $-1$
  2. $1$
  3. $\frac{4}{3}$
  4. $-\frac{3}{4}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Slope of normal }=\frac{-1}{f^{\prime}(x)} \\ & \Rightarrow \tan \left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)=\frac{-1}{f^{\prime}(3)} \\ & \Rightarrow-1=\frac{-1}{f^{\prime}(3)} \\ & \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(3)=1\end{aligned}$
