Find the equation of the chord of contact (polar) of the point (1, 2) with respect to the circle x² + y² + 2x + 3y + 1 = 0.

  1. 4x + 7y + 10 = 0
  2. 4x + 7y - 10 = 0
  3. 2x + 3y + 5 = 0
  4. 4x + 7y + 5 = 0

Correct answer: 4x + 7y + 10 = 0

Solution

Substituting into T = 0 gives 2x + 7y/2 + 5 = 0, which on clearing the fraction becomes 4x + 7y + 10 = 0.
