 If PQ is the focal chord of parabola y2=x and P is (4,2), then the slope of tangent at Q is

a
2
b
3
c
4
d
5

detailed solution

Correct option is C

y2=−x⇒2ydydx=−1∴ Slope of tangent at P,dydx(−4,2)=−14    slope of normal at P =4⇒ Slope of tangent at Q=4     since tangent at one end of focal is parallel to the noral at the  other end
