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
Options
A.(-1, 1)
B.(0, 2)
C.(2, 4)
D.(-2, 0)
Solution
Point must be on the directrix of the parabola.
Hence the point is (-2, 0).
Hence the point is (-2, 0).
