If one of the lines represented by the equation mx2 – (1 – m2)xy – my2 = 0 bisects angles between the coordinate axes, then m is equal to .....

Answer»

The given equation is x2 + m2xy - xy - my2 = 0. That is, mx(x + my)- y(x + my) = 0 Therefore, the lines are x + my = 0 and mx - y = 0 . The angle bisectors of the coordinates are y = x = -x and y = -x . Hence, m = ±1 or |m| = 1.
