If the line y=2 x+k is normal to the parabola y^2=4 x , then k=
Options
- A-10
- B10
- C12
- D–12
Correct answer
D. –12
Step-by-step solution
Since, equation of normal to the parabola y^2=4 a x having slope m is y=m x-2 a m-a m^3 . So, equation of normal to the parabola y^2=4 x is y=2 x+k Therefore, aligned k & =-2(1)(2)-(1)(2)^3 & =-4-8=-12 aligned Hence, option (4) is correct.
