Question:medium

Let a tangent \(L_1\) with slope \(m\) drawn to the parabola \[ y^2=8x \] be perpendicular to a normal \(L_2\) drawn to the parabola \[ y^2=12x. \] If \(m=1\) and the point of intersection of \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) is \((\alpha,\beta)\), then \(\alpha+\beta=\)

Show Hint

For the parabola \[ y^2=4ax, \] the tangent with slope \(m\) is \[ \boxed{y=mx+\frac{a}{m}.} \] The normal is obtained from the parametric equation of the parabola.
