The equation of the tangent to the parabola \(y^2=12 x\) at \((3,-6)\) is

  1. A \(x-y+9=0\)
  2. B \(x+y+3=0\)
  3. C \(x+y-3=0\)
  4. D \(x=3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x+y+3=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of tangent to the parabola \(y^2=12 x\) at \((3,-6)\) is \(\begin{array}{llll} y(-6) =6(x+3) \\ \Rightarrow x+y+3 =0 \end{array}\) Hence, option (b) is correct.
