Find the equation of the normal to the circle x2 + y2  = 2x which is parallel to the line x + 2y = 3

Answer»

Equation of normal at (x1 ,y1 ) of x+ y2 – 2x = 0 is

x - x1/x1 - 1 = y - y1/y1 - 0 (∴ x - x1/ax1 + g = y - y1/by1 + f)

Slope of this equation is y1/x1 - 1

Slope of x + 2y = 3 is -1/2

Since given that normal is parallel to x + 2y = 3

∴  y1/x1 - 1 = -1/2

y1 = – x1 + 1 therefore locus of (x1 , y1 ) is x1 + 2y1 = 1

It is the equation of normal
