The equation of the lines passing through the origin and having slopes 3 and \(-\frac{1}{3}\), is

  1. A \(3 y^{2}+8 x y-3 x^{2}=0\)
  2. B \(3 x^{2}+8 x y+3 y^{2}=0\)
  3. C \(3 y^{2}-8 x y-3 x^{2}=0\)
  4. D \(3 x^{2}+8 x y-3 y^{2}=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3 x^{2}+8 x y-3 y^{2}=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, \(m_{1}=3, m_{2}=\frac{-1}{3}\)
Hence, the lines are \(y=3 x, y=\frac{-1}{3} x\)
On multiplying both the lines, we get \((y-3 x)(3 y+x)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 3 x^{2}+8 x y-3 y^{2}=0\)
