The slope of the normal to the circle $x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y$ $+\mathrm{c}=0$ at $\left(\mathrm{x}_1,…

The slope of the normal to the circle $x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y$ $+\mathrm{c}=0$ at $\left(\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{y}_1\right)$ is
  1. $-\left(\frac{x_1+g}{y_1+f}\right)$
  2. $-\left(\frac{y_1+f}{x_1+g}\right)$
  3. $\frac{x_1+g}{y_1+f}$
  4. $\frac{y_1+f}{x_1+g}$

Solution

Given equation of circle is $ x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0 $ $\therefore$ centre $\mathrm{c}(-\mathrm{g},-\mathrm{f})$ Slope of normal $C P=\frac{y_1+f}{y_1+g}$
