Questions  

Two parabolas have the same focus. If their directrices are the x and the y-axis, respectively, then the slope of their common chord is

a
±1
b
43
c
34
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Let the focus be (a, b). The equations are  and   S1:(x−a)2+(y−b)2=x2 S2:(x−a)2+(y−b)2=y2 Common chord S1−S2=0 gives x2−y2=0 or  y=±x
