The equation of the chord joining two points `(x_(1),y_(1))` and `(x_(2),y_(2))` on the rectangular hyperbola `xy=c^(2)`, isA. `(x)/(x_(1)+x_(2))+(y)/(y_(1)+y_(2))=1`B. `(x)/(x_(1)-x_(2))+(y)/(y_(1)-y_(2))=1`C. `(x)/(y_(1)+y_(2))+(y)/(x_(1)+x_(2))=1`D. `(x)/(y_(1)-y_(2))+(y)/(x_(1)-x_(2))=1` |

Answer» Correct Answer - A The midpoint of the chord is `((x_(1)+x_(2))//2,(y_(1)+y_(2))//2)`. The equation of the chord in terms of its midpoint is `T=S_(1)` `"or "x((y_(1)+y_(2))/(2))+y((x_(1)+x_(2))/(2))-2c^(2)=((x_(1)+x_(2))/(2))((y_(1)+y_(2))/(2))-2c^(2)` `"or "x(y_(1)+y_(2))+y(x_(1)+x_(2))=(x_(1)+x_(2))(y_(1)+y_(2))` `"or "(x)/(x_(1)+x_(2))+(y)/(y_(1)+y_(2))=1` |
