How To Find The Equation Of A Parabola Given Tangent Line. After having gone through the stuff given above, we hope that the students would have understood, find the equation of the tangent to the parabola in parametric form.apart from the stuff given in this section, if you need any other stuff. Let y 2 = 4ax be the parabola.

I'm not sure how to start this off, i know the the first derivative would give me the slope of the tangent line at any point. Suppose that the equation of a tangent to the parabola. Check your answer by confirming the equation on your graph.
