Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(\frac{-5}{8}, \frac{-1}{8}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation, \(2 x^2+k x y-6 y^2+3 x+y+1=0\) is a pair of straight line. \(\therefore \quad\left|\begin{array}{ccc}2 & k / 2 & 3 / 2 \\ k / 2 & -6 & 1 / 2 \\ 3 / 2 & 1 / 2 & 1\end{array}\right|=0\)…
