If two tangents drawn from a point P to the parabola y2= 4x are at right angles, then the locus of P is

  • X = 1

  • 2x +1 = 0

  • x = -1

  • x = -1


C.

x = -1

We know that the locus of point P from which two perpendicular tangents are drawn to the parabola is the directrix of the parabola.
Hence, the required locus is x = -1
