4y=x2+2x+9

4y8=(x+1)2

4(y2)=(x+1)2 a=1

Tangent is  (y2)=m(x+1)am2

y2=m(x+1)m2

Passing through P(1, 3)

32=m(1+1)m2

(m1)2=0

m = 1

y-2=1x+1-1

x-y+2=0

Intersects y-axis at A (0, 2)

B lies on 2x – 3y = 8

Equation of line parallel to x – 3y = 6

x-3y+k=0

sub P(1,3)

k=8

x-3y+8=0

Point B(x, y) is intersection of lines 2x – 3y = 8 and x-3y+8=0

We set B (16, 8)

(AB)2=(160)2+(82)2=292
