Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((-6,-35)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, equation of line is y = 6x + 1 and equation of pa rab ola is \(y^2=24 x\). The locus of the point of intersection of perpendicular tangent to a parabola is its directrix. So, required point is the point of intersection of y = 6x + 1 and direc trix x = − 6. Hence, its…
