Answer:
Equation of tangent line is,
Explanation:
Given: An ellipse equation or we can write it as: or
⇒
The derivative of above equation is:
On simplify we get;
or
or
Evaluate at (15, -4)
we get,
on simplify we get,
The point to the tangent line to the ellipse is (15, -4) and the tangent to the ellipse is given by:
then, we have
⇒ or
On simplifying we get,
on further simplifying we get;
therefore, the equation of tangent to the ellipse which passes through a point (15, -4) is,
