Question:medium

If the slope of one of the lines is twice the slope of the other in the pair of straight lines \[ 6x^2+2hxy+y^2=0, \] then \[ |h|= \]

Show Hint

For \[ ax^2+2hxy+by^2=0, \] substitute \[ y=mx \] to get the quadratic equation in \(m\). The roots are the slopes of the two lines, so Vieta's formulas can be applied immediately.
