If the tangents at two points and as a parabola intersect at the point (-1, 1), then the slope of the directrix of the parabola is

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

: If the tangents at P and Q intersect at T, then axis of parabola is parallel to TR, where R is the mid point of P and Q . So, slope of the axis is 1.

∴ slope of the directrix .
