10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
easy
The point of contact of the line $y = x - 1$ with $3{x^2} - 4{y^2} = 12$ is
A
$(4, 3)$
B
$(3, 4)$
C
$(4, -3)$
D
None of these
Solution

(a) The equation of the line and hyperbola are
$y = x – 1$…..$(i)$
$3{x^2} – 4{y^2} = 12$…..$(ii)$
From $(i)$ and $(ii),$ we get
$3{x^2} – 4{(x – 1)^2} = 12$
$ \Rightarrow 3{x^2} – 4({x^2} – 2x + 1) = 12$
or ${x^2} – 8x + 16 = 0$
$⇒$ $x = 4$
From $(i),$ $y = 3.$
So point of contact is $(4,3)$.
