Parallel lines -

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{B_{1}}{B_{2}}\neq \frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}

 

 

- wherein

The two lines are A_{1}x+B_{1}y+C_{1}=0  and A_{2}x+B_{2}y+C_{2}=0

 

 

 

Condition for Tangency in Hyperbola -

C^{2}= a^{2}m^{2}-b^{2}

- wherein

For the Hyperbola

\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}- \frac {y^{2}}{b^{2}}= 1

 

 

Equation of Tangent to Hyperbola -

\frac{xx_{1}}{a^{2}}-\frac{yy_{1}}{b^{2}}= 1

- wherein

For the Hyperbola

\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}- \frac {y^{2}}{b^{2}}= 1 and

P\left ( x_{1} ,y_{1}\right )

from the concept

standard hyperbola

\frac{x^{2}}{5}-\frac{y^{2}}{4}=1

slope of tangent = 1

Eqn of tangent y=x\pm \sqrt{5-4}

=>y=x\pm 1

=>y=x+ 1 \: \: or\: \: y=x-1


Option 1)

 

x-y+1=0

Option 2)

 

x-y+7 = 0

Option 3)

 

x-y+9 =0

Option 4)

 

x-y-3 = 0
