Questions  

A chord is drawn through the focus of the parabola y2 = 6x such than its distance from the vertex of this parabola is 

52 , then its slope can be 

a
52
b
32
c
25
d
23

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Focus of the parabola is 32,0 Let the equation of the chord be y=mx−32Its distance from the vertex (0, 0) is −3m21+m2=52⇒9m2=51+m2⇒m2=54⇒m=52
