Let L₁ be a tangent to the parabola y²=4(x+1) and L₂ be a tangent to the parabola y²=8(x+2) such that L₁ and L₂ intersect at right angles. Then L₁ and L₂ meet on the straight line:
Let L₁ be a tangent to the parabola y²=4(x+1) and L₂ be a tangent to the parabola y²=8(x+2) such that L₁ and L₂ intersect at right angles. Then L₁ and L₂ meet on the straight line:
Equation of tangent to y²=4 (x+1) is y=m (x+1)+1/m.
Equation of tangent to y²=8 (x+2) is y=m' (x+2)+2/m'.
m'=-1/m.
Solving for intersection point, x+3=0.
