The combined equation of straight lines joining the origin to the points of intersection the line y=2x+1 with the curve x2+y2+2xy+4=0 is given by
The equation of straight lines in the method of homogenization is given by
x2+y2+2xy+4(y−2x1)2=0
[we are making each term second degree by multiplying by the appropriate powers of (y−2x1)]
⇒x2+y2+2xy+4(y2+4x2−4xy)=0
⇒17x2+5y2−14xy=0
