MCQ
Lines represented by $9 x^2+y^2+6 x y-4=0$ are
A
coincident.
✓
parallel but not coincident.
C
not parallel.
D
perpendicular.
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
parallel but not coincident.
(B) Given equation of pair of lines is $9 x^2+y^2+6 x y-4=0$ $\therefore \quad a=9, b=1, h=3$ $h^2-a b=3^2-9(1)=0$ $\therefore \quad$ The lines are parallel Now, $9 x^2+6 x y+y^2=4$ $\Rightarrow(3 x+y)^2=4 \Rightarrow 3 x+y= \pm 2$ Hence, the lines are parallel and not coincident.
