Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{7x^2}{63} - \frac{9y^2}{63} = 1 \implies \frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{7} = 1\) \(a^2=9, b^2=7 \implies a=3, b=\sqrt{7}\) \(m_1 = \frac{b}{a} = \frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}, m_2 = -\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}\)…
