The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equation and determine the nature of the triangle formed by the lines represented by the equation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given equation**: The equation provided is \((2y^2 + 3xy - 2x^2)(x + y - 1) = 0\). This indicates that we have two parts: the quadratic part \(2y^2 + 3xy - 2x^2 = 0\) and the linear part \(x + y - 1 = 0\). 2. **Analyze the quadratic part**: The quadratic equation \(2y^2 + 3xy - 2x^2 = 0\) can be treated as a pair of straight lines. To find the slopes of these lines, we can rewrite this equation in the standard form of a conic section. 3. **Using the condition for a pair of straight lines**: The general form for a pair of straight lines is \(Ax^2 + Bxy + Cy^2 = 0\). Here, \(A = -2\), \(B = 3\), and \(C = 2\). The condition for this to represent a pair of straight lines is that \(B^2 - 4AC = 0\). \[ B^2 - 4AC = 3^2 - 4(-2)(2) = 9 + 16 = 25 \quad (\text{not equal to } 0) \] Since \(B^2 - 4AC > 0\), this confirms that we indeed have a pair of straight lines. 4. **Finding the slopes of the lines**: The slopes of the lines can be found using the formula for the roots of the quadratic equation. The slopes \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) can be calculated using the quadratic formula: \[ m = \frac{-B \pm \sqrt{B^2 - 4AC}}{2A} \] Substituting the values: \[ m = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{25}}{2 \cdot 2} = \frac{-3 \pm 5}{4} \] This gives us two slopes: \[ m_1 = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}, \quad m_2 = \frac{-8}{4} = -2 \] 5. **Check for perpendicularity**: To check if the lines are perpendicular, we can use the condition that the product of their slopes should equal -1: \[ m_1 \cdot m_2 = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (-2) = -1 \] Since the product of the slopes is -1, the lines are perpendicular. 6. **Analyze the linear part**: The linear equation \(x + y - 1 = 0\) represents a straight line. 7. **Conclusion about the triangle**: Since we have two lines that are perpendicular to each other and intersect with a third line, they form a right triangle. Therefore, the triangle formed by these lines is a right-angled triangle. ### Final Answer: The triangle formed by the lines is a right-angled triangle.
