Let R be the focus of the parabola y 2 = 20 x and the line y = m x + c intersect the parabola at two points…
Solution
Given,
be the focus of the parabola and the line intersect the parabola at two points and ,
And the points be the centroid of the triangle ,
Now focus of the parabola will be,
And parametric points of be ,
Now plotting the diagram we get,
Now finding the centroid of the triangle we get,
For coordinate we get,
Now for coordinate we get,
Now solving both equations we get,
So, points will be$P=(5, 10)$ and $Q=(20, 20)$ Hence, equation of $PQ$ is $y-10=$\frac{10}{15}$(x-5)$ $\Rightarrow 3y-30=2x-10$ $\Rightarrow y=$\frac{2}{3}$x+\frac{20}{3}$, so on comparing with $y=mx+c$, we get $c-m=6$ Hence, $PQ^2=225+100=325$
