Question

If slopes of lines represented by K x 2 + 5 x y + y 2 = 0 differ by 1 then K =, 2, 3, 6, 8

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

k x 2 + 5 x y + y 2 = 0 If the slopes of the lines in this pair are m 1 , m 2 then m 1 + m 2 = - 5 , m 1 m 2 = k , But it is given that m 1 - m 2 = 1 So m 1 - m 2 2 = m 1 + m 2 2 - 4 m 1 m 2 ⇒ 1 = 25 - 4 k ⇒ k = 6
