Detailed Solution

Since y=mx2amam3 is a normal to the parabola 

y2=4ax,taking a=3 and  m=1

y=x2(3)(1)3(1)3 

 x+y=9 is a normal to the parabola y2=12x

Suppose it touches the parabola y2=4ax
Equation of a tangent to the parabolay2=4ax is 

y=mx+a/m 

If it represents the line  x+y=9 then 

m=1 and a/m=9  a=9 

So an equation of the required parabola is y2=4(9)x  

y2=36x
