To solve the problem of finding the point of intersection of the tangents drawn to the parabola \( y^2 = 4ax \) at the points where the line \( lx + my + n = 0 \) intersects the parabola, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the points of intersection of the line and the parabola We need to substitute \( y \) from the line equation into the parabola's equation. 1. Rearranging the line equation: \[ my = -lx - n \implies y = -\frac{l}{m}x - \frac{n}{m} ...
