Question
The equation of a tangent to the parabola y2 = 8x is y = x + 2. The point on this line from which the other tangent to the parabola is perpendicular to the given tangent is
-
(−1, 1)
-
(0, 2)
-
(2, 4)
-
(−2, 0)
Solution
D.
(−2, 0)
Point must be on the directrix of the parabola. Hence the point is (−2, 0)
