A line `L` passing through the focus of the parabola `y^2=4(x-1)` intersects the parabola at two distinct points. If `m` is the slope of the line `L , then`

A

`-1ltmlt1`

B

`mlt-1ormgt 1`

C

`m in R`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Any line passing through the focus other than the axis always meets the parabols at two distinct points.
Hence, `m in R - {0}`.
