If sum of the slopes of lines represented by $x^2-2 x y \tan \theta-y^2=0$ is 4 , then $\theta=$

If sum of the slopes of lines represented by $x^2-2 x y \tan \theta-y^2=0$ is 4 , then $\theta=$
  1. $\tan ^{-1}(-1)$
  2. $\tan ^{-1}(1)$
  3. $\tan ^{1}(2)$
  4. $\tan ^{-1}(-2)$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & m_1+m_2=\frac{-2 h}{b} \\ & \Rightarrow 4=\frac{2 \tan \theta}{-1} \\ & \Rightarrow \tan \theta=-2 \\ & \Rightarrow \theta=\tan ^{-1}(-2)\end{aligned}$
