Detailed Solution

Equation of the parabola is y2 = 4x
a=1
The equation of the given line y - 2x + 5 = 0
Slope m = 2
Since normal is parallel to the line y - 2x + 5 = 0 then
Slope of the normal = 2
Now equation of the normal at ‘t’ is
 y+tx=2at+at3 Slope =t=2t=2
Equation of the normal is
y2x=2.1(2)+1(2)3=48=122xy12=0
