Question:medium

If the length of a focal chord drawn to the parabola \[ y^2=64x \] is \(289\) and the angle made by this focal chord with the positive \(X\)-axis measured in the positive direction is an acute angle, then the slope of the focal chord is

Show Hint

For the parabola \[ y^2=4ax, \] the length of a focal chord with parameter \(m\) is \[ \boxed{a\left(m+\frac1m\right)^2.} \]
