The locus of the point of intersection of the lines and
is a hyperbola of eccentricity
Given: A hyperbola is formed by the locus of the point of intersection of lines
To find: Eccentricity of the hyperbola
Multiply by λ:
Adding (1) and (2):
Now, From (1):
Squaring both sides:
From (3) and (4):
Formula used:
For hyperbola
Eccentricity(e) is given by,
⇒ c = 8
Therefore,
⇒ e = 2
Hence, eccentricity of hyperbola is 2
