Answer» Correct Answer - D The equation of the parabola is `sqrt((x-1)^(2)+(y-3)^(2))=|(5x-12y+7)/(sqrt(5^(2)+(-12)^(2)))|` Clearly, its focus is (1, 3) and the equation of the directrix is 5x-12y=0. `:." Length of the latusrectum " = 2 xx" Length of the perpendicualr from the focus (1, 3) on the directrix"` `rArr" Length of the latusrectum = 2"|(5xx1-12xx3+7)/(sqrt(5^(2)+(-12)^(2)))|=48/13` |
