Question

If the tangent at the point P on the circle x2 + y2 + 6x + 6y = 2 meets the straight line 5x – 2y + 6 = 0 at a point Q on the y-axis, then the length ofPQ is

Solution

Correct option is

5

The line 5x – 2y + 6 = 0 meets y-axis at (0, 3). So the coordinates of Qare (0, 3) and PQ is the length of the tangent from Q (0, 3) to the circlex2 + y2 + 6x + 6y – 2 = 0. Hence
