Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac {-1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, \(\begin{aligned} & 2 x^2-3 x y-2 y^2+10 x+5 y=0 \\ & (2 x+y)(x-2 y+5)=0 \\ & 2 x+y=0 \text { and } x-2 y+5=0 \end{aligned}\) Now, equation of line passing through origin is \(2 x^2+y=0 \quad \Rightarrow m_1=-2\) Since, this line is perpendicular to the line…
