One end of the diameter of the circle $x^2+y^2-6 x-5 y-1=0$ is $(-1,3)$, then the equation of the tangent at the other end of the diameter is
  1. $8 x+y-58=0$
  2. $8 x-2 y-52=0$
  3. $8 x-y-54=0$
  4. $8 x+2 y-60=0$

Solution

If $\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ is one end of a diameter of the circle $x^2+y^2+2 \mathrm{~g} x+2 \mathrm{f} y+\mathrm{c}=0$, then the other end is $\left[-\left(x_1+2 \mathrm{~g}\right),-\left(y_1+2 \mathrm{f}\right)\right]$ $\therefore \quad$ The other end of $x^2+y^2-6 x-5 y-1=0$ is $[-(-1-6),-(3-5)]$ i.e. $(7,2)$ $\therefore \quad$ Equation of tangent at $(7,2)$ is $\begin{aligned} & 7 x+2 y-3(x+7)-\frac{5}{2}(y+2)-1=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 8 x-y-54=0 \end{aligned}$
