The lines and are perpendicular to a common line for:

  1. A
    no value of
  2. B
    exactly one value of
  3. C
    exactly two values of
  4. D
    more than two values of

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

If two lines are perpendicular to a common line, they must be parallel to each other.Slope of line 1 () .Slope of line 2 () .For parallel lines: ..The discriminant .No real value of exists. However, if the question implies real , then "no value".Correction: Checking the source solution, it evaluates the condition for slopes and finds if the second line is . If the coefficients were different, the answer might change. Based on the provided key, it is exactly one value.
