What is the equation of the tangent line to the ellipse x2 -xy + y2 =3 at the point (-1,1)? Select one: a. x +2y + 1 = 0 b. x - y + 2 = 0 c. x - y - 1 = 0 d. x - y - 2 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just diff it and find y', put the points and thats the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heeelp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

differentiation wud be like that 2x-(y+xy') + 2 y.y'=0, now can you separate out y' ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u know what is formula of eq of tangent

OpenStudy (anikhalder):

@aweejfranciso you know how to differentiate an equation ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

partly..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so u can use it or simplyu can use the values in the eq
