The midpoints of a family of parallel chords of a hyperbola lie on a
Aline through the centre
Bcircle around the centre
Cparabola on the axis
Dellipse at the focus
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. line through the centre
For chords of constant slope the midpoints satisfy a linear equation, giving a diameter through the centre.
