Equation of the tangents to the ellipse

\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1

which are parallel to the line

x+y+1=0

, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

x+y+5=0

Option A (

x+y+5=0

) is correct because it satisfies the condition for tangency to the ellipse and is parallel to the given line.
