Pair Of Straight Lines Question 129

Question: If $ r(1-m^{2})+m(p-q)=0 $ , then a bisector of the angle between the lines represented by the equation $ px^{2}-2rxy+qy^{2}=0 $ , is

Options:

A) $ y=x $

B) $ y=-x $

C) $ y=mx $

D) $ my=x $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Equation of bisectors of angle between the lines represented by

$ px^{2}-2rxy+qy^{2}=0 $ is $ \frac{x^{2}-y^{2}}{p-q}=\frac{xy}{-r} $ ….. (i)

On putting $ y=mx $ in (i), we get $ \frac{1-m^{2}}{p-q}=\frac{m}{-r} $

$ \Rightarrow r(1-m^{2})+m(p-q)=0 $ .
