Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left|\frac{c}{4}\right|\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given equation is \(4xy+6x-8y+c=0\). This equation represents two straight lines which can be factored as \((Ax+B)(Cy+D)=0\), leading to \(ACxy+ADx+BCy+BD=0\). Comparing coefficients: \(AC=4\) \(BD=c\) The lines are \(x = -B/A\) and \(y = -D/C\). The area of the rectangle…
