If the equation $3 x^2-k x y-3 y^2=0$ represents the bisectors of angles between the lines $x^2-3 x y-4 y^2=0$, then value of $k$ is
  1. -6
  2. -10
  3. 6
  4. 10

Solution

We have $x^2-3 x y-4 y^2=0$ and comparing it with standard equation, we write $\mathrm{A}=1, \mathrm{H}=\frac{-3}{2}, \mathrm{~B}=-4$ Equation of bisector of angle of this line is $\begin{aligned} & \frac{x^2-y^2}{A-B}=\frac{x y}{H} \Rightarrow \frac{x^2-y^2}{1+4}=\frac{x y}{\left(\frac{-3}{2}\right)} \\ & \therefore-3 x^2+3 y^2=10 x y \Rightarrow 3 x^2+10 x y-3 y^2=0 \end{aligned}$ Comparing with given equation, we get $\mathrm{k}=-10$
