Question
Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve `"y" = sqrt(5"x" -3) -5`, which is parallel to the line `4"x" - 2"y" + 5 = 0`.

Solution
Here `"y" = sqrt(5"x" -3)-5`.
`dy/dx = 5/(2sqrt(5x - 3))`
Slope of line 4x - 2y + 5 = 0 is `(- 4)/(- 2) = 2`
∴ `5/(2sqrt(5x - 3)) = 2 x 73/80`
Putting x = `73/80 "in equation (i) we get y" = -15/4`
Hence the equation of tangent:
`"y"+(15)/(4) = 2 ("x" -(73)/(80))`
⇒ `80"x" - 40"y" = 223`.
