Ellipse
Question

Let P be a point in the first quadrant lying on the ellipse 9x2+16y2=144,such that the tangent at P to the ellipse is inclined at an angle 135° to the positive direction of x-axis. Then the coordinates of P are:

Moderate
Solution

Equation of the tangent with slope tan 135° to the ellipse x216+y29=1 is y=x+16(1)+9

x+y=5 which meets the given ellipse at 165,95
