If the sum of the slopes of the lines given by `x^(2) – 2cxy – 7y^(2) = 0` is four times their product, then c has the value

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given equation of pair of lines is `x^(2)-2cxy-7y^(2)=0` .
Let the slopes of the component lines be `m_(1)andm_(2)`. It is given that
`m_(1)+m_(2)=4m_(1)m_(2)`
`rArr-(2c)/(7)=(-4)/(7)`
`:.c=2`
