Here, coordinate  M=\left(\frac{t_1^2+t_2^2}{2}, t_1+t_2\right)  , i.e. midpoint of chord AB.

M P=t_1+t_2=r \\.......................(i)

\begin{aligned} & M P=m_{A B}=\frac{2 t_2-2 t_1}{t_2^2-t_1^2}=\frac{2}{t_2+t_1} \text { (when } \mathrm{AB} \text { is chord) } \\ & \Rightarrow m_{A B}=\frac{2}{r} \end{aligned}...........from eq (i)
