Let `L_(1) =0 " and " L_(2)=0` be two fixed lines. A variable line is drawn through the origin to cut the two lines at R and S. P is a point on the line AB such that (m+n)/OP=m/OR+n/OS. Show that the locus of P is a straight line passing through the point of intersection of the given lines (R,S,P are on the same side of O).
