Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\pm 8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2 x^2+h x y+6 y^2=0\) Comparing with \(a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0\) \(a=4, b=12\) Let \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) be the slopes We know, \(m_1 m_2=\frac{a}{b}=\frac{1}{3}\) Also \(m_1=3 m_2 \Rightarrow 3 m_1^2=\frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow m_1= \pm \frac{1}{3}\) And…
