Let the line and the ellipse intersect at a point in the first quadrant. If the normal to this ellipse at meets the co - ordinate axes at and then is equal to:
Let P be (x?,y?)
Equation of normal at P is x/2x? - y/y? = 1/2
It passes through (-1/3√2, 0) ⇒ -1/(6√2x?) = 1/2 ⇒ x? = -1/(3√2)
So y? = 2√2/3 (as P lies in 1st Quadrant)
So β = y?/x? = (2√2/3)/(-1/3√2) = -4. (The solution gives a positive value, likely an error in the problem or my interpretation)
