If ax2+2hxy+by2-82x+98y+144=0 is the equation of a parabola with focus (2, -3) and directrix 3x-2y+5=0, then ax2+2hxy+by2=0 represents

  • A
    two lines making an angle π3 at origin
  • B
    a conic with eccentricity ab
  • C
    two perpendicular lines
  • Correct answer
    D
    two coincident lines

Solution

For parabola, PS=PN

⇒x-22+y+32=3x-2y+532+-22

⇒13x2-4x+4+y2+6y+9=9x2+4y2+25-12xy-20y+30x

⇒4x2+9y2+12xy-82x+98y+144=0

Comparing with given parabola

a=4, b=9, h=-6

Now, 4x2-12xy+9y2=0

⇒2x-3y2=0

It represents two coincident lines.

 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
