Answer

$\frac{x_{0}x}{a^{2}}-\frac{y_{0}y}{b^{2}}$ = $\frac{x_{0}^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y_{0}^{2}}{b^{2}}$ = 1

Work Step by Step

$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$ = $1$ Differentiating $\frac{2x}{a^{2}}-\frac{2yy'}{b^{2}}$ = $0$ $y'$ = $\frac{b^{2}x}{a^{2}y}$ an equation of the tangent line at $(x_{0},y_{0})$ is $y-y_{0}$ = $\frac{b^{2}x}{a^{2}y}(x-x_{0})$ Multiply both side by $\frac{y_{0}}{b^{2}}$ $\frac{y_{0}y}{b^{2}}-\frac{y_{0}^{2}}{b^{2}}$ = $\frac{x_{0}x}{a^{2}}-\frac{x_{0}^{2}}{a^{2}}$ since $(x_{0},y_{0})$ lies on the hyperbola $\frac{x_{0}x}{a^{2}}-\frac{y_{0}y}{b^{2}}$ = $\frac{x_{0}^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y_{0}^{2}}{b^{2}}$ = 1
