If two tangents drawn from the point to the parabola are such that the slope of one of the tangent is times the slope of the other, then the locus of point is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Equation of tangent in slope form is
Let the tangent passes through ⇒ k = mh + ⇒ m^{2}h - km + a = 0⇒ {m}_{1} + {m}_{2} = & {m}_{1}{m}_{2} = a = 2 & {m}_{2} = 3{m}_{1}⇒ 4{m}_{1} = & 2 = ⇒
