The slopes of tangents drawn from a point `(4, 10)` to parabola `y^2=9x` areA. `"1/4, 3/4"`B. `"1/4, 9/4"`C. `"1/4, 1/3"`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The equation of a tangent of slope m to the parabola `y^(2)=9x` is
`y=mx+9/(4m)`
If it passes through (4, 10), then
`10=4m+9/(4m)rArr16m^(2)-40m+9=0rArrm=1/4, 9/4`
