Question

If m is a variable, the locus of the point of intersection of the lines  is a/an 

Solution

Correct option is

Hyperbola

 

The required locus is obtained by eliminating the variable m from the given equations of the lines. 

Thus, we have  

        

.     

This is clearly a hyperbola.
