If the sum of slopes of the pair of lines given by $4 x^{2}+2 \mathrm{~h} x y-7 y^{2}=0$ is equal to the product of the slopes, then $\mathrm{h}$ is
  1. $-2$
  2. $-4$
  3. 4
  4. $-6$

Solution

Given $4 x^{2}+2 h x y-7 y^{2}=0$ We have $\mathrm{m}_{1}+\mathrm{m}_{2}=\mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{~m}_{2} \Rightarrow-\frac{2 \mathrm{~h}}{7}=\frac{4}{-7} \Rightarrow \mathrm{h}=-2$
