The correct option is B x+3=0
The equation of any tangent to y2=4(x+1) is y=m(x+1)+1m ...(1)
The equation of any tangent to y2=8(x+2) is y=m′(x+2)+2m′ ...(2)
It is given that (1) and (2) are perpendicular. Therefore,
mm′=−1⇒m′=−1m
Putting m′=−1m in (2), we get
y=(−1m)(x+2)−2m ...(3)
The point of intersection of (1) and (3) is given by solving (1) and (2)
On subtracting (3) from (1), we get
0=(m+1m)x+3(m+1m)⇒x+3=0 [∵m+1m≠0]
