Since x=0,y=3 are two sides  of  the triangle  given triangle  is a right angled

L is tangent to y2=6x
4a=6a=32
Tangenty=mx+amy=mx+32m
B=0,32m,C=3m32m2,3

Question Image
Let x1, y1  be the circum centre of ABC= mid point of hypotenuse BC

x1=0+3m32m22,y1=32m+32

x1=32m34m2,2y1-3=32m

x1+3-2y1=-34m2

3x1+9-6y1=-2y1-32


4y218y+3x+18=0
