Correct answer: D
- Let the point of intersection of the two lines be .
The lines are: with .
We must eliminate the parameter to get the locus.
- Express from each equation.
From (1):
From (2):
Equating the two expressions for :
- Simplify the equation.
Cross-multiplying,
Now use the identity: with , .
So,
Divide by :
- Identify the conic.
This is of the form which is a hyperbola.
Here,
- Check the given properties.
For the hyperbola its eccentricity is which is not .
So option C is false.
The length of transverse axis is So option D is true.
- Final conclusion.
The locus is a hyperbola with transverse axis length .
Therefore, the correct option is:
- Comparison with stored answer.
Stored correct answer: D
Our derived answer: D
They agree.
