easy

The locus of the point of intersection of the lines $bxt - ayt = ab$ and $bx + ay = abt$ is

A

A parabola

B

An ellipse

C

A hyperbola

D

None of these

Solution

(c) Multiplying both, we get

${(bx)^2} – {(ay)^2} = {(ab)^2}$

==> $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} – \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$

which is the standard equation of hyperbola.
