Conic Sections

Step 1: Determine the Slopes of the Lines
The general form of a homogeneous second-degree equation: represents two straight lines. The slopes of these lines are given by: By comparing this with the equation , we identify the coefficients: Step 2: Apply the Given Condition
The sum of the slopes is: The product of the slopes is: Using the condition , we substitute the known values: Step 3: Solve for
