Detailed Solution

Given ellipse x216+y29=1(a>b)

where a2=16,  b2=9

Let P=(4cosθ, 3sinθ) be any point on ellipse.

Equation of tangent at P(θ) is

Question Image

x4cosθ+y3sinθ=1

slope of tangent (m) =-cosθ4sinθ3

 tanθ=-cosθ4×3sinθ 

 tan1350=-34 cotθ    ( inclination of tangent =1350 )

 -1=-34 cotθ  tanθ=34                                          

Question Image

Now  sinθ=35, cosθ=45

 P=445, 335 =165, 95
