  1. A -6
  2. B -10
  3. C 6
  4. D 10
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) -10

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(x^2-3 x y-4 y^2=0\) and comparing it with standard equation, we write
\(
\mathrm{A}=1, \mathrm{H}=\frac{-3}{2}, \mathrm{~B}=-4
\)
Equation of bisector of angle of this line is
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{x^2-y^2}{A-B}=\frac{x y}{H} \Rightarrow \frac{x^2-y^2}{1+4}=\frac{x y}{\left(\frac{-3}{2}\right)} \\
& \therefore-3 x^2+3 y^2=10 x y \Rightarrow 3 x^2+10 x y-3 y^2=0
\end{aligned}
\)
Comparing with given equation, we get \(\mathrm{k}=-10\)
