Given information
The equation of ellipse
Where
To find: The equation of the set of all points from the curve of slops are negative reciprocal.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Since the geneneral equation for A tangent line is:
let us consider same for tangent to the ellipse
the discriminant of the equation, is zero as ellipse intersect the tangent at one point only
The standard form of ellipse equation
A tangent line to the ellipse
The line intersect exactly one point on the ellipse
Substitute in equation (1)
