The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( m \) such that one of the lines represented by the equation \( my^2 + (1 - m^2)xy - mx^2 = 0 \) is a bisector of the angle between the lines represented by \( xy = 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the given equation**: The equation \( my^2 + (1 - m^2)xy - mx^2 = 0 \) represents a pair of straight lines. We can rewrite this equation to identify the lines. 2. **Rearranging the equation**: We can rearrange the equation as follows: \[ my^2 + (1 - m^2)xy - mx^2 = 0 \] This can be factored as: \[ y(my + (1 - m^2)x) - mx^2 = 0 \] 3. **Factoring the equation**: We can factor out \( y \) from the first two terms: \[ y(my + (1 - m^2)x) = mx^2 \] This gives us: \[ y = mx \quad \text{and} \quad y = -\frac{1}{m}x \] So the two lines are: \[ L_1: y = mx \quad \text{and} \quad L_2: y = -\frac{1}{m}x \] 4. **Identifying the angle bisectors**: The lines \( xy = 0 \) represent the x-axis \( (y = 0) \) and the y-axis \( (x = 0) \). The angle bisectors of these lines are given by: \[ y = x \quad \text{and} \quad y = -x \] The slopes of these lines are \( 1 \) and \( -1 \), respectively. 5. **Setting conditions for angle bisectors**: For \( L_1 \) to be an angle bisector, its slope \( m \) must equal \( 1 \) or \( -1 \): - If \( m = 1 \), then \( L_1: y = x \). - If \( m = -1 \), then \( L_1: y = -x \). 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the possible values of \( m \) such that one of the lines is a bisector of the angle between the lines \( xy = 0 \) are: \[ m = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad m = -1 \] ### Final Answer: The possible values of \( m \) are \( 1 \) and \( -1 \). ---
