If the equation of normal to the parabola

y^2=4 a x

having slope -2 is given by

y+2 x+k a=0

, then value of

k

.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

-12

Option B (12) is correct because the length AA' is calculated using the properties of the normal at the ends of the latus rectum of the parabola.
