Equation of 1st parabola :  y^2=4(x+1)

Equation of tangent : y=m_1(x+1)+\frac{1}{m_1}

Equation of 2nd parabola : y^2=8(x+2)

Equation of tangent : y=m_2(x+2)+\frac{2}{m_2}

Now both tangents intersect at 90 degree

So,\;m_1m_2=-1

\\m_1(x+1)+\frac{1}{m_1}=m_2(x+2)+\frac{2}{m_2}\\x(m_1-m_2)+m_1-2m_2=\frac{2}{m_2}-\frac{1}{m_1}\\x(m_1-m_2)+m_1-2m_2=\frac{2m_1-m_2}{m_1m_2}\\x(m_1-m_2)+m_1-2m_2=\frac{2m_1-m_2}{-1}\\x(m_1-m_2)=3m_2-3m_1\\x+3=0
