The straight lines represented by the equation \(9 x^{2}-12 x y+4 y^{2}=0\) are

  1. A coincident
  2. B perpendicular
  3. C intersect at \(60^{\circ}\)
  4. D parallel
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) parallel

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C)
The given pair of lines are of the form \(a x^{2}+2 h x y+b y^{2}=0 \Rightarrow a=9,2 h=-12, \Rightarrow h=-6,\)\( b=4\) \(h^{2}-a b=(-6)^{2}-(9 \times 4)=36-36=0\)
Therefore the lines are coincident
