Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (9,-24)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of parabola is \[ y^{2}=64 x \] The point at which the tangent to the curve is parallel to the line is the nearest point on the curve. On differentiating both sides of Eq. (i), we get \(2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=64\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{32}{y}\)…
