  • \( 3x + 4y - 14 = 0 \)
  • \( 3x - 4y + 10 = 0 \)
  • \( 3x - 4y + 1 = 0 \)
  • \( 4x + 3y - 3 = 0 \)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Using the normal equation condition A normal to an ellipse satisfies the equation: \[ ax + by + c = 0 \] We substitute \( x = -2 \), solve for \( y \), and derive the tangent equation.
