10-1.Circle and System of Circles
easy
The equation of the normal to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = 9$ at the point $\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }},\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)$ is
A
$x + y = 0$
B
$x - y = \frac{{\sqrt 2 }}{3}$
C
$x - y = 0$
D
None of these
Solution
(c) We know that the equation of normal to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = {a^2}$ at the point $({x_1},\;{y_1})$ is $\frac{x}{{{x_1}}} – \frac{y}{{{y_1}}} = 0$.
Therefore , $\frac{x}{{1/\sqrt 2 }} – \frac{y}{{1/\sqrt 2 }} = 0 $
$\Rightarrow x – y = 0$.
