The locus of mid-points of the line segments joining-3,-5and the points on the ellipsex24+y29=1is :

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Parametric point on the given ellipse is 2sinθ, 3cosθ

Let, the mid-point of line segments joining -3,-5 and 2sinθ,3cosθ is h, k

Then, by using mid-point formula, we get

2sinθ-32=h, 3cosθ-52=k

2sinθ=2h+3, 3cosθ=2k+5

sinθ=2h+32, cosθ=2k+53

We know, sin2θ+cos2θ=1

2h+322+2k+532=1

144h2+9+12h+194k2+25+20k=1

36h2+16k2+108h+80k+145=0

Hence, the locus of x,y is 36x2+16y2+108x+80y+145=0
