If we homogenise this equation we get the combined equation of AO and OB.So doing that we get:


 


We write 'a' as a = y-tx/2t^2 + t^3. Putting this in the equation of parabola: 


 y^2 = 4(yx - tx^2)/2t^2 + t^3


 


 Now coeffecient of (x^2) + coeffecient of (y^2) =0


  => 2t^2 + t^3 +4t =0 => t^2 + 2t +4 =0 = > (t+1)^2 =0 = > t=-1


 


And from the equation of straight line we find the slope is t = -1


 


Let us learn to dream, gentlemen, and then perhaps we shall learn the truth.
