Detailed Solution

x2 + 2xy – 3y2 = 0
(x – y)(x + 3y) = 0
2x + 2y + 2xy’ – 6yy’ = 0

At (1, 1)
the slope of tangent is y = 1
The slope of the normal is –1
Hence,
The normal has the equation: x + y = 2
We need to find its intersection with x + 3y = 0
On solving we get,
2 – y + 3y = 0
⇒ 2y = –2
y = –1, x = 3
Hence, it meets it in the fourth quadrant.
