Find the equation of the chord of the parabola `y^(2)=8x` having slope 2 if midpoint of the chord lies on the line x=4. |
|
Answer» Let `M(4,y_(1))` be midpoint of the chord. So, equation of chord using equation `T=S_(1)` is `yy_(1)-4(x+4)=y_(1)^(2)-8xx4` `or" "yy_(1)-4x=y_(1)^(2)-16` Slope `=(4)/(y_(1))=2` (Given) `:." "y_(1)=2` So, equation of the chord is 2y-4x=-12 y=2x-6 |
