The locus of the point of intersection of the perpendicular tangents to ellipse

\frac{{{x^2}}}{9} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{4} = 1

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

{x^2} + {y^2} = 13

Option D (

{x^2} + {y^2} = 13

) is correct because the locus of the point of intersection of perpendicular tangents to an ellipse is its director circle, and its equation is

{x^2} + {y^2} = {a^2} + {b^2}
