Find the equation to the pair of straight lines joining the origin to the intersections of the straight line `y=mx + c` and the curve `x^2 + y^2=a^2` . Prove that they are at right angles if `2c^2=a^2(1+m^2)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`therefore " "2c^2=a^2(1+m^2)`
which is the required condition .
