JEE Advance - Mathematics (2011 - Paper 2 Offline - No. 18)

Let L be a normal to the parabola y2 = 4x. If L passes through the point (9, 6), then L is given by
y $$-$$ x + 3 = 0
y + 3x $$-$$ 33 = 0
y + x $$-$$ 15 = 0
7 $$-$$ 2x + 12 = 0

Explanation

The equation of normal is

y = mx $$-$$ 2m $$-$$ m3

As (9, 6) lies on it, 6 = 9m $$-$$ 2m $$-$$ m33 $$-$$ 7m + 6 = 0

The roots are m = 1, 2, $$-$$3. So the normal are

y = x $$-$$ 3, y = 2x $$-$$ 12, y = $$-$$3x + 33.
