The correct answer is: x=4+6t, y=112-3t2

Given equation of parabola is

x2-8x+12y+15=0

x2-8x+16=-12y-15+16

x-42=-12y-112

Compare it with x-h2=-4ay-k

h=4,a=3, k=112

As, we know that the parametric equation of x-h2=-4ay is x=h+2at,y=k-at2.

Parametric equation of x-42=-12y-112 is

x=4+6t  ,y=112-3t2.

Hence, option 1 is correct.
