Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation, \(15 x^2+31 x y+14 y^2=0\) \[ \Rightarrow \quad \begin{aligned} 15 x^2+10 x y+21 x y+14 y^2 & =0 \\ 5 x(3 x+2 y)+7 y(3 x+2 y) & =0 \\ (3 x+2 y)(5 x+7 y) & =0 \end{aligned} \] \(\therefore\) Two lines have following equation…
