Pair Of Straight Lines Question 38

Question: The point of intersection of the lines represented by equation $ 2{{(x+2)}^{2}}+3(x+2)(y-2)-2{{(y-2)}^{2}}=0 $ is

Options:

A) (2, 2)

B) (-2, -2)

C) (- 2, 2)

D) (2, -2)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Putting $ X=x+2,\ \ Y=y-2 $

Equation becomes $ 2X^{2}+3XY-2Y^{2}=0 $ Which cuts at $ X=0,\ Y=0 $

So, $ x+2=0,\ y-2=0 $

Point of intersection $ (-2,2) $ .

Trick: Only (-2, 2) is satisfying the given equation.
