The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equations and determine the nature of the triangle formed by the lines represented by these equations. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given equations**: We have two equations: - Equation 1: \(3x^2 - 8xy - 3y^2 = 0\) - Equation 2: \(x + 2y = 3\) 2. **Analyze the first equation**: The first equation represents a pair of straight lines. To confirm this, we can check the condition for a pair of straight lines in the form \(Ax^2 + Bxy + Cy^2 = 0\). Here, \(A = 3\), \(B = -8\), and \(C = -3\). 3. **Check the condition for perpendicular lines**: For the lines to be perpendicular, the condition is: \[ A + C = 0 \] Substituting the values: \[ 3 + (-3) = 0 \] This condition is satisfied, indicating that the lines represented by the first equation are perpendicular. 4. **Analyze the second equation**: The second equation \(x + 2y = 3\) can be rewritten in slope-intercept form: \[ y = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{2} \] The slope of this line is \(-\frac{1}{2}\). 5. **Find the slopes of the lines from the first equation**: To find the slopes of the lines represented by the first equation, we can factor the quadratic equation or use the formula for the slopes of the lines given by: \[ m_1, m_2 = \frac{-B \pm \sqrt{B^2 - 4AC}}{2A} \] Substituting the values: \[ m_1, m_2 = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2 - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot (-3)}}{2 \cdot 3} \] \[ = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{64 + 36}}{6} = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{100}}{6} = \frac{8 \pm 10}{6} \] This gives us: \[ m_1 = \frac{18}{6} = 3, \quad m_2 = \frac{-2}{6} = -\frac{1}{3} \] 6. **Check for perpendicularity**: The product of the slopes of two lines is \(-1\) for them to be perpendicular: \[ m_1 \cdot m_2 = 3 \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) = -1 \] This confirms that the lines from the first equation are indeed perpendicular. 7. **Conclusion**: Since we have established that the lines from the first equation are perpendicular and the second equation represents a line, the triangle formed by these lines is a right-angled triangle. ### Final Answer: The triangle formed by the equations \(3x^2 - 8xy - 3y^2 = 0\) and \(x + 2y = 3\) is a right-angled triangle.
