The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given equation and derive the equation of the directrix of the parabola. ### Step 1: Understand the given equation We start with the equation: \[ 5l^2 + 6m^2 - 4lm + 3l = 0 \] This represents a quadratic equation in terms of \( l \) and \( m \). ### Step 2: Identify the form of the parabola The problem states that the variable line \( lx + my = 1 \) always touches a fixed parabola whose axis is parallel to the x-axis. The general equation of such a parabola can be written as: \[ (y - a)^2 = 4b(x - c) \] where \( (c, a) \) is the vertex of the parabola. ### Step 3: Rewrite the line equation The line can be expressed in slope-intercept form: \[ y = -\frac{l}{m}x + \frac{1}{m} \] The slope of the line is \( -\frac{l}{m} \). ### Step 4: Condition for tangency For the line to be tangent to the parabola, we need to set up the condition: \[ (y - a) = -\frac{l}{m}(x - c) + \frac{1 - am - lc}{m} \] This means we need to ensure that the quadratic formed by substituting \( y \) into the parabola's equation has a discriminant equal to zero. ### Step 5: Set up the discriminant condition The condition for tangency leads to: \[ Cl^2 - Bm^2 + Alm = 1 \] where \( A, B, C \) are coefficients derived from the comparison of the two equations. ### Step 6: Compare coefficients From the given equation \( 5l^2 + 6m^2 - 4lm + 3l = 0 \), we can compare coefficients: - \( C = 5 \) - \( B = 6 \) - \( A = -4 \) ### Step 7: Solve for \( a, b, c \) Using the relationships: \[ \frac{C}{5} = \frac{-B}{6} = \frac{A}{-4} = \frac{-1}{3} \] We can derive: - \( C = -\frac{5}{3} \) - \( B = 2 \) - \( A = \frac{4}{3} \) ### Step 8: Write the equation of the parabola Substituting \( a, b, c \) into the parabola equation: \[ (y - \frac{4}{3})^2 = 4(2)(x + \frac{5}{3}) \] ### Step 9: Find the focus and directrix The focus of the parabola is at: \[ \left( \frac{1}{3}, \frac{4}{3} \right) \] The directrix of the parabola is given by the equation: \[ x + a = 0 \] where \( a = 2 \). ### Step 10: Finalize the directrix equation Thus, the equation of the directrix is: \[ x + \frac{5}{3} = 0 \] or, rearranging gives: \[ x = -\frac{5}{3} \] ### Conclusion The directrix of the parabola is: \[ x = -\frac{5}{3} \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given equation and derive the equation of the directrix of the parabola. ### Step 1: Understand the given equation We start with the equation: \[ 5l^2 + 6m^2 - 4lm + 3l = 0 \] This represents a quadratic equation in terms of \( l \) and \( m \). ### Step 2: Identify the form of the parabola ...
