A parabola passes through the point the ...

A parabola passes through the point the point (1,2), (2,1), (3,4) and (4,3). Find the equation of the axis of parabola.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
x-y=0
Line joining (1,2) and (2,1) and line joining (3,4) and (4,3) are parallel.
Also, the perpendicular bisector of any two parallel chords is axis of parabola.
`So, axis of the parabola is x-y=0.
