JEE MainMathematicsModerateStraight Lines

If pair of lines y^2 + 2hxy - 9x^2 = 0 and another pair of
lines given by ay^2 + 10xy + x^2 = 0 have

exactly one line common and other lines represented by them are

perpendicular, then

Show answer and solution
[IMAGE] m1+m2=−2hm_{1} + m_{2} = - 2h m1−1m2=−10am_{1} - \frac{1}{m_{2}} = - \frac{10}{a}
m1m2=−9m_{1}m_{2} = - 9
−m1m2=1a⇒m2=9- \frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} = \frac{1}{a} \Rightarrow m_{2} = 9
m1=−9am_{1} = - \frac{9}{a}
On solving gy djus ij: a = 9, h = - 4
