Find the point where the line `x+y=6` is a normal to the parabola `y^2=8x`.

A

(18, -12)

B

(4, 2)

C

(2, 4)

D

(3, 3)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
We have,
Slope of the normal= (Solpe of the line x + y = 6) = -1 The coordinates of the foot of the normal are `(am^(2), -2am)`.
Here a = 2 and m = -1. So, the required point is (2, 4).
