The equation of a tangent to the hyperbola \(16 x^2-25 y^2-96 x+100 y-356=0\) which makes an angle \(45^{\circ}\) with its transverse axis is
  1. \(x-y+2=0\)
  2. \(x-y+4=0\)
  3. \(x+y+2=0\)
  4. \(x+y+4=0\)

Solution

Given equation of hyperbola \(\begin{aligned} & 16 x^2-25 y^2-96 x+100 y-356=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{(x-3)^2}{25}-\frac{(y-2)^2}{16}=1 \quad \ldots (i) \end{aligned}\) Now equation of tangent to the hyperbola (i) having slope ' 1 ' is \(\begin{aligned} y-2 & =1(x-3)+\sqrt{25(1)-16} \\ \Rightarrow \quad y-2 & =x-3+3 \\ y-2 & =x-3+3 \text { or } y-2=x-3-3 \\ \text { or } \quad x-y-4 & =0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad x-y+2 & =0 \end{aligned}\) Hence, option (1) is correct.
