Detailed Solution

The given curve is
7x24xy+8y2+2x4y8=0
and the given line is 3x – y = 2
3xy2=1
The given curve (1) and the line (2) intersects  at A,B join OA¯ and OB¯
By homogenizing the equation of the curve (1) with the line (2) we get
7x24xy+8y2+2x(1)4y(1)8(1)2=07x24xy+8y2+2x3xy24y3xy283xy22=0 7x24xy+8y2+3x2xy6xy+2y289x2y26xy4=0 7x24xy+8y2+3x2xy6xy+2y218x22y2+12xy=0 8x2+xy+8y2=0 ..(3)8x2xy8y2=0 
 (3) represents the pair of lines OA¯,OB¯ comparing equation (3) with
ax2+2hxy+by2=0, we get
a = 8, 2h = –1, b = –8
now a + b = 8 – 8 = 0

lines are perpendicular
 Angle between the lines is π2
