Question:medium

Let \( \Gamma \) be the curve \( y = b e^{-x/a} \) and \( L \) be the straight line:
\[ \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1, \quad a, b \in \mathbb{R}. \]
Then:

Show Hint

For intersections of curves and lines, substitute the curve’s equation into the line equation and solve for common points.

  • L touches the curve Γ at the point where the curve crosses the axis of y.
  • L does not touch the curve at the point where the curve crosses the axis of y.
  • Γ touches the axis of x at a point.
  • Γ never touches the axis of x.
