The combined equation of the bisectors of the angles between the lines joining the origin to the points of intersection of the curve $x^2+y^2+x y+x+3 y+1=0$ and the line $x+y+2=0$ is
  1. $x^2+4 x y-y^2=0$
  2. $x^2-4 x y-y^2=0$
  3. $x^2-3 x y+y^2=0$
  4. $x^2+2 x y-3 y^2=0$

Solution

Given equation: $x^2+y^2+x y+x+3 y+1=0$ ...(i) and $x+y+2=0 \Rightarrow \frac{x+y}{-2}=1$ ...(ii) Homogenizing (i) with (ii) $\begin{aligned} & x^2+x y+y^2+x(1)+3 y(1)+1(1)^2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow x^2+x y+y^2+x\left(\frac{x+y}{-2}\right)+3 y\left(\frac{x+y}{-2}\right)+\left(\frac{x+y}{-2}\right)^2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 3 x^2-2 x y-y^2=0 \end{aligned}$
Comparing with $a x+2 h x y+b y^2=0$ $a=3,2 h=-2, b=-1$
Angle bisector is $h\left(x^2-y^2\right)=(a-b) x y$ $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow-1\left(x^2-y^2\right)=(3+1) x y \\ & \Rightarrow x^2+4 x y-y^2=0 . \end{aligned}$
