Since tangents make an angle of 60° with the x–axis so slope of tangent
m = tan60°=m= √3
radius of circle x2 +y2 = 9 is 3
we know equation of tangent to a circle x2 +y2 = a2 is
y = mx ± a \(\sqrt{1+ m^2}\)
\(∴ y = \sqrt{3}\, x ± 3 \sqrt{1+ 3}\)
= √3 x ± 6
or √3 x–y ± 6 = 0 ie., √3 x–y+6 = 0 and √3 x–y–6 =0 are equations of tangents
