 Let a pair of tangents be drawn from the point x1,y1 to the hyperbola

x2y2=9

Then the chord of contact will be 

xx1yy1=9-----i

But the given chord of contact is 

x=9-----ii

As (i) and (ii) represent the same line, these equations should be identical and, hence

x11=y10=99 or x1=1,y1=0

Therefore, the equation of pair of tangents drawn from (1,0) to x2y2=9 is 

x2y2912029=(x1y09)2 Using SS1=T2 or  x2y29(8)=(x9)2 or  8x2+8y2+72=x218x+81 or  9x28y218x+9=0
