Option: 2

\mathrm{9 x^{2}-8 y^{2}-18 x+9=0}


Option: 3

\mathrm{9 x^{2}-8 y^{2}-18 x-9=0}

\mathrm{x}=9 meets the hyperbola at (9,6 \sqrt{2}) and (9,-6 \sqrt{2})
.
The equation of tangents at these points are \mathrm{3 x-2 \sqrt{2} y-3=0}

and \mathrm{3 x+2 \sqrt{2} y-3=0}

The combined equation of these two is \mathrm{9 x^{2}-8 y^{2}-18 x+9=0}.
