$A$ chord is drawn through the focus of the parabola $y^2 = 6x$ such that its distance from the vertex of this parabola is $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$. Then,its slope can be:

Consider the parabola $y^2=8x$. Let $\Delta_1$ be the area of the triangle formed by the endpoints of its latus rectum and the point $P\left(\frac{1}{2}, 2\right)$ on the parabola,and $\Delta_2$ be the area of the triangle formed by the intersection points of the tangents drawn at $P$ and at the endpoints of the latus rectum. Then $\frac{\Delta_1}{\Delta_2}$ is
