Let the length of the focal chord $PQ$ of the parabola $y^2=12x$ be $15$ units. If the distance of $PQ$ from the origin is $p$,then $10p^2$ is equal to:

If the line $x + \alpha y + \beta = 0$ touches the curve $4x^3 + 4y^3 = xy(xy + 16)$ at points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$,where $x_1 \neq x_2$,then the value of $\alpha + \beta$ is (given $\alpha, \beta \in R$).

What is the vertex of the parabola $x^2 + 4x + 2y - 7 = 0$?

Statement $1$: $y = mx - \frac{1}{m}$ is always a tangent to the parabola $y^2 = -4x$ for all non-zero values of $m$.
Statement $2$: Every tangent to the parabola $y^2 = -4x$ will meet its axis at a point whose abscissa is non-negative.
