Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((0,0)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the required point be \(\boldsymbol{P}\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)\) The given curve is \(y=x^{2}...(i)\) Differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t. \(x\), we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}=2 x \Rightarrow\) Slope of tangent at \(P\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)=2 x\) But the slope of tangent at…
