A tangent to a parabola bisects the angle between the focal line and the:
Aaxis of symmetry
Blatus rectum line
Cdirectrix perpendicular
Dtangent at vertex
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. directrix perpendicular
The tangent bisects the angle between the line to the focus and the perpendicular dropped to the directrix.
