The lines represented b the equations $23 x^2-48 x y+3 y^2=0$ and $2 x+3 y+4=0$ form
- an isosceles triangle
- an equilateral triangle
- a right angled triangle
- a scalene triangle
Solution
(c) We have,
$
\begin{aligned}
& 23 x^2-48 x y+3 y^2=0 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad 3 y^2-48 x y+23 x^2=0 \\
& \text { Here, } \quad M_1+M_2=16 \\
& \text { and } M_1 M_2=\frac{23}{3} \\
& \therefore \quad m_1-m_2=\sqrt{\left(m_1+m_2\right)^2-4\left(m_1 m_2\right)} \\
& =\sqrt{(16)^2-4 \times \frac{23}{3}}=\sqrt{256-\frac{92}{3}}=\sqrt{\frac{768-92}{3}}=\frac{26}{\sqrt{3}} \\
& \therefore \quad m_1=8+\frac{13}{\sqrt{3}} \text { and } m_2=8-\frac{13}{\sqrt{3}} \\
& \tan \theta=\left|\frac{m_1-m_2}{1+m_1 m_2}\right|=\left|\frac{\frac{26}{\sqrt{3}}}{1+\frac{23}{3}}\right|=\sqrt{3} \\
&
\end{aligned}
$
We know that, than $60^{\circ}$
So,
$
\theta=60^{\circ}
$
Slope of line $2 x+3 y+4=0$ is $-\frac{2}{3}$
Angle between line of slope $8+\frac{13}{\sqrt{3}}$ and $-\frac{2}{3}$ is
$
\begin{aligned}
\tan \alpha & =\frac{8+\frac{13}{\sqrt{3}}+\frac{2}{3}}{1+\left(8+\frac{13}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)}=\sqrt{3} \\
\therefore \quad \theta & =60^{\circ} \\
\Rightarrow \quad \alpha & =60^{\circ}
\end{aligned}
$
Hence, line from a equilateral triangle
