The triangle formed by $x^2-4 x y+y^2=0$ and $x+y+4 \sqrt{6}=0$ is
The triangle formed by $x^2-4 x y+y^2=0$ and $x+y+4 \sqrt{6}=0$ is
- an equilateral triangle
- a right angled triangle
- an isosceles triangle
- a scalene triangle
Solution
$x^2-4 x y+y^2=0$
$\Rightarrow y^2-2 \cdot 2 x y+4 x^2=3 x^2$
$\begin{array}{ll}\Rightarrow & (y-2 x)^2=3 x^2 \\ \Rightarrow & y-2 x= \pm \sqrt{3} x\end{array}$
$y=(2 \pm \sqrt{3}) x$

$\therefore$ The given triangle is an equilateral triangle.
