If slope of one line of (a x^2+4 x y+y^2=0 ) is 3 times the other, then the value of ' (a ) ' is
Options
- A-3
- B-1
- C3
- D1
Correct answer
C. 3
Step-by-step solution
Let the slope of lines are (m ) and (3 m ) respectively which are represented by (a x^2+4 x y+y^2=0 ) ( ) Sum of slopes (=m+3 m=- 4 1 =-4 m=-1 ) and product of the slopes (=m(3 m)= a 1 m^2= a 3 ) ( (-1)^2= a 3 a=3 ) Hence, option (c) is correct.
