If one of the lines (2 x^2-x y+b y^2=0 ) passes through the point ((-4,-2) ), then (b^2= )
Options
- A-6
- B36
- C4
- D16
Correct answer
B. 36
Step-by-step solution
It is given that one of the lines (2 x^2-x y+b y^2=0 ) passes through the point ((-4,-2) ), so ( aligned & 2(-4)^2-(-4)(-2)+b(-2)^2 =0 & 32-8+4 b=0 b =-6 & b^2= 36 aligned ) Hence, option (b) is correct.
