Given points
(x₁,y₁) = (3,4)
(x₂,y₂) = (1,5)

FIRST
Find the slope of the line. This is general formula to determine the slope
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Plug in the numbers to the formula
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m = (5 - 4)/(1 - 3)
m = 1/(-2)
m = -1/2

SECOND
Determine the line equation
This is general formula to determine the line equation
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Plug in the numbers
y - 4 = -1/2 (x - 3)
y - 4 = (-1/2)x + 3/2
y = (-1/2)x + 3/2 + 4
y = (-1/2)x + 11/2
(this is the equation of the line)

Answer:

  m^2 = 35/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The line will be tangent to the ellipse where there is one point of intersection between the line and the ellipse. We can find that case by looking at the discriminant of the quadratic.

  x^2 +9(mx +2)^2 = 1

  x^2 +9(m^2x^2 +4mx +4) = 1

  (9m^2 +1)x^2+36mx +35 = 0 . . . . subtract 1, collect terms

__

Then the discriminant is ...

  (36m)^2 -4(9m^2 +1)(35)

We want it to be zero, so we have ...

  1296m^2 -1260m^2 -140 = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  36m^2 = 140 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 140

  m^2 = 140/36 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 36

  m^2 = 35/9
