Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{-3}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tangent equation from \( (-2,-1) \) to \( y^2=4x \): \( y = mx + \frac{1}{m} \) \( -1 = m(-2) + \frac{1}{m} \) \( 2m^2 - m - 1 = 0 \) Slopes \( m_1, m_2 \): \( m_1 + m_2 = \frac{1}{2} \) \( m_1 m_2 = -\frac{1}{2} \)…
