If the vertex of a parabola is \((4,3)\) and its directrix is \(3 x+2 y-7=0\), then the equation of latus rectum of the parabola is

  1. A \(3 x+2 y-18=0\)
  2. B \(3 x+2 y-29=0\)
  3. C \(3 x+2 y-8=0\)
  4. D \(3 x+2 y-31=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3 x+2 y-29=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the directrix be \(D: 3x+2y-7=0\). The latus rectum is parallel to the directrix, so its equation is \(L: 3x+2y+k=0\). The vertex \(V(4,3)\) lies exactly midway between the directrix and the focus. The value of \(3x+2y\) at the vertex \(V(4,3)\) is \(3(4)+2(3) = 12+6 = 18\).…
