Let L 1 be a tangent to the parabola y 2 = 4 ( x + 1 ) and L 2 be a tangent to the parabola y 2 = 8 ( x + 2 ) such that L 1 and L 2 intersect at right angles. Then L 1 and L 2 meet on the straight line:

Question

Let L 1 be a tangent to the parabola y 2 = 4 ( x + 1 ) and L 2 be a tangent to the parabola y 2 = 8 ( x + 2 ) such that L 1 and L 2 intersect at right angles. Then L 1 and L 2 meet on the straight line:, x + 3 = 0, 2x + 1 = 0, x + 2 = 0, x + 2y = 0
