The locus of the point of intersection of the straight  lines  where K is a non-zero real variable, is given by

  • a straight line

  • an ellipse

  • a parabola

  • a hyperbola


D.

a hyperbola

Given equations of straight lines,

xa + yb = K              ...(i)and xa - yb = 1K    ...(ii)

Let the point of intersection be (α, β).

So, from Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

αa + βb = Kαa - βb = 1K

 αa2 - βb2 = 1 α2a2 - β2b2 = 1

 Locus x2a2 - y2b2 = 1 which is the equation of hyperbola.
