is tangent to the circle having its centre at

\left( {2, - 1} \right),

then the equation of other tangent to the circle from the origin is

View answer and explanation

x - 3y = 0

Option A (

x - 3y = 0

) is correct because it represents the other tangent to the circle from the origin, found by using the distance from the center to the tangent.
