The equation to the tangent yo the parabola y^2=8x is y=x+2.The point on this line from which the other tangent to the parabola is perpendicular to given tangent is?
easy one but I am not getting the answer,plz just send the answer

You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity

Purpose of solving a problem is not simply to get the answer(the answer is only an evidence) but to develop your thinking ability

Answer is (-2,0)

The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

Equation of tangent is y=mx+a/m
here a=2, m=1.
For a tangent perpendicular to this tangent, m=-1.
Therefore equation of the second tangent is y=-x-2.
Solving the equations of both the tangents, you get (-2,0)

Rate me if satisfied.
Tell me if not understood.
