The equation of the transverse axis of hyperbola \((x-3)^2+(y+1)^2=(4 x+3 y)^2\) is

The equation of the transverse axis of hyperbola \((x-3)^2+(y+1)^2=(4 x+3 y)^2\) is
  1. \(3 x+4 y=13\)
  2. \(3 x-4 y=13\)
  3. \(4 x-3 y=13\)
  4. \(3 x-4 y=9\)

Solution

\(\begin{aligned} (x-3)^2+(y+1)^2 & =(4 x+3 y)^2 \\ (x-3)^2+(y+1)^2 & =25\left(\frac{4 x+3 y}{5}\right)^2 \\ (x-3)^2+(y+1)^2 & =25\left(\frac{4 x+3 y}{25}\right)^2 \\ \sqrt{(x-3)^2+(y+1)^2} & =5\left(\frac{4 x+3 y}{\sqrt{5}}\right)^2 \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) It is of the form \(S P=\mathrm{ePM}\) \(\therefore\) Focus \(=(3,-1)\) Equation of directrix \(=4 x+3 y\) Since, Transverse axis perpendicular to directrix and passing through focus. \(\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad 3 x-4 y+k & =0 \\ 3(3)-4(-1)+k & =0 \\ 13+k & =0 \\ k & =-13 \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) Required Line is \(3 x-4 y-13=0\) \(3 x-4 y=13\) Hence, option (b) is correct.
