The correct answer is: x2-y2-10x+6y+16=0
We can say that both line passes through point (5, 3) and makes angle 45o and 135o with x-axis
   Equation of first line is,
y-3=tan 45o(x-5)
y-3=x-5
y-x+2=0 .....(i)
Similarly,
y-3=tan 135o(x-5)
y-3=-1(x-5)
y+x-8=0 ...... (ii)
  Joint equation of line is
y-x+2y+x-8=0
   x2-y2-10x+6y+16=0
