Dear Shefali Sharma,

Ans:- We know that the angle between 2 st line is given by            tanθ=(m1-m2)/(1+m1m2)

Here m1=-1 θ=45 degree and hence we get m2=0

Now from the curve we get the value of the first order derivative is=6-2x and for tangency it must be 0 from where we get, the point as (3,9)
