If

P\left( { - 3,2} \right)

is one end of the focal chord

PQ

of the parabola

{y^2} + 4x + 4y = 0,

then the slope of the normal at

Q

is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

- 1/2

Option A (-1/2) is correct because the tangent at one end of a focal chord is parallel to the normal at the other end.
