Step: 1

Answer :

Now we have the straight line as:

⇒ y = 3x − 11 and the curve as:

⇒ xy = 4 − 3x − 2x
2
.

Step: 2

Intersect at the point A, B and the perpendicular bisector of the line AB is C (a, − 8) .

Now we have:

The relation as:

2
⇒ xy = 4 − 3x − 2x

Substitute ⇒ y = 3x − 11 we get:

2
⇒ xy = 4 − 3x − 2x

2
⇒ x(3x − 11) = 4 − 3x − 2x

2 2
⇒ 3x − 11x = 4 − 3x − 2x

2 2
⇒ 3x − 11x − 4 + 3x + 2x = 0

2
⇒ 5x − 8x − 4 = 0

2
⇒ 5x − 8x − 4 = 0

2
⇒ 5x − 10x + 2x − 4 = 0

⇒ 5x(x − 2) + 2(x − 2) = 0

and we have:

⇒ (5x + 2)(x − 2) = 0

Step: 3

Now we get:

2
⇒ x = 2, − .
5

Now on putting ⇒ x = 2 we get:

⇒ y = 6 − 11 = − 5

and
 2
⇒ x = −
5

We get:

6 − 6 − 55 61
⇒ y = − − 11 = = −
5 5 5

Step: 4

So the perpendicular bisector point C will be:

⇒ y = − 0.33x − 8.336

Now the equation of line AB is:

⇒ y = ( )x + c
12

Now ⇒ c = − 5 − 3 ⋅ 2 = − 11

So we have:

⇒ y = 3x − 11

put y = − 8 we get:

⇒ 3x − 11 = − 8 ⇒ 3x = 3 ⇒ x = 1 .

Final Answer

Hence we have ⇒ a = 1 as our required answer.
