Find the length of the intercept cut by the pair of lines $2 x^2+4 x y-4 y^2-6 x-8 y+7=0$ over the $Y$-axis

Find the length of the intercept cut by the pair of lines $2 x^2+4 x y-4 y^2-6 x-8 y+7=0$ over the $Y$-axis
  1. $\sqrt{12}$
  2. $\sqrt{10}$
  3. $\sqrt{11}$
  4. $\sqrt{13}$

Solution

Given, pairs of straight line $2 x^2+4 x y-4 y^2-6 x-8 y+7=0$ For length of intercept on $Y$-axis put $x=0$ $-4 y^2-8 y+7=0 \Rightarrow 4 y^2+8 y-7=0$ $y=\frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{64+112}}{8}$ $y=\frac{-8 \pm 4 \sqrt{11}}{8}$ Length of intercept $=\frac{2 \times 4}{8} \sqrt{11}=\sqrt{11}$
