Solution

The given equation of the first line is, 2x + 3y + 4 + k6x - y + 12 = 02 + 6kx + 3-ky + 4 + 12k = 0 3-ky = -2+6kx - 4+12k = 0y = 2+6kxk-3 +12k+4k-3 .....1Slope of line 1 is m1 = 2 + 6kk - 3The equation of the other line 2 is, 7x + 5y - 4 = 05y = 4 - 7xy = -7x5 + 45 .....2Slope of line 2 is m2 = -75Since, line 1 is to line 2, then m1 m2 = -12 + 6kk - 3 × -75 = -114 + 42k5k - 15 = 142k + 14 = 5k - 1537k = -29k = -2937
