At any point (x, y) of a curve, the slope of the tangent is twice the slope of the line segment joining the point of contact to the point (– 4, – 3). Find the equation of the curve given that it passes through ( 2, 1).
Let y = f(x) be equation of curve.
Now
is the slope of the tangent to the curve at the point (x, y)
From the given condition,
![]()
Separating the variables, we get,
![]()
Integrating, ![]()
...(1)
Since curve passe through (-2, 1)
which is required equation of curve.
