A tangent to the parabola `y^2=8x` makes an angle of `45^0` with the straight line `y=3x+5.` Then find one of the points of contact.

A

`x+2y+1=0`

B

`2x+y +1=0`

C

`x+y +2=0`

D

`x+y +1=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Equation of any tangent to the parabola `y^(2)=8x` is `y=mx +(a)/(m)=mx +(2)/(m)`
`L: y=3x+5`
`:.tan45^(@)=|(m-3)/(1+3m)|`
`rArr (m-3)/(1+3m)=pm1`
`rArr m-3=1+3m rArr m-3= -1-3m`
`rArr m-3m=4 rArr 4m=2 rArr m=(4)/(-2)= -2 rArr m=(1)/(2)`
Equation of tangent is `y= -2x-1`
`y=(1)/(2)x +4 rArr y+2x+1=0 rArr 2y-x-8=0`
