Let \(L\) be a normal to the parabola \(y^2=4 x\). If \(L\) passes through the point \((9,6)\), then \(L\) is given by

  1. A
    \(y-x+3=0\)
  2. B
    \(y+3 x-33=0\)
  3. C
    \(y+x-15=0\)
  4. D
    \(y-2 x+12=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A)
\(y-x+3=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Normal to \(y^2=4 x\), is \(y-m x-2 m-m^3\) which passes through \((9,6)\).
Now, \(\quad 6=9 m-2 m-m^3\) \(\Rightarrow m^3-7 m+6=0 \Rightarrow m=1,2,-3\)
\(\therefore\) Equation of normals are
\(y-x+3=0\)
\(y+3 x-33=0\) and \(y-2 x+12=0\)
