The line `(k + 1)x + ky-2k^2-2=0` passes through a point regardless of the value k. Which of the following is the line with slope 2 passing through the point?

Answer» the line given is `(k+1)^2x +ky-2k^2 -2 = 0`
as `y=mx+c`
`ky= -(k+1)^2x+ (2k^2+2)`
`y= -(k+1)^2x/k + (2k^2+2)/k`
where `m= -(k+1)^2/k = 2`
`-(k+1)^2 = 2k`
`-(k^2+2k+1) = 2k`
`-k^2 -2k-2k-2=0`
`k^2 +4k+1= 0`
`k= (-4+-sqrt(16-4*1))/2`
`k= -2 +- sqrt 3`
c is given
`c=(2k^2 +2)/k= 2(k+1/k)`
for `k=-2 +sqrt3`
`c = 2(-2 + sqrt3 + (1/(-2+sqrt3))*(-2-sqrt3)/(-2 - sqrt3)`
`=2[-2 + sqrt3 + (-2 - sqrt3)]`
`= 2(-4) = -8`
for `k=-2 -sqrt3`
`c = 2(-2 - sqrt3 + (1/(-2-sqrt3))*(-2-+qrt3)/(-2 + sqrt3)`
`=2[-2 - sqrt3 + (-2 + sqrt3)]`
`= 2(-4) = -8`equation of line is
`y= 2x-8`
option A is correct
