Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(m= \pm 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of line joining origin to the points of intersection of \(y=m x+1\) and \(x^2+y^2=1\) is \[ \begin{array}{rlrl} x^2+y^2 & =(y-m x)^2 \\ \Rightarrow & & x^2+y^2 & =y^2-2 m x y+m^2 x^2 \\ \Rightarrow & & \left(1-m^2\right) x^2+2 m x y & =0 \end{array} \] The line are…
