Prove the given equation for the two pairs of lines. 
If one of the straight lines given by equation $$ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$$
  coincide with one of those given by $$a_2x^2 + 2h_2xy + b_2y^2 = 0$$ and the other represented by them be perpendicular, prove that 
  $${ha_2b_2\over b_2 - a_2} = {h_2ab\over b - a} = \sqrt{-aa_2bb_2} \tag{+}$$
  All straight lines pass through origin. 


Let the inclination of four lines be $m, m_2, m_3, m_4$
Now $m = m_3$ and $\displaystyle m_2 = {-1\over m_4}$
$ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$ can be represented as
$$b(y - mx)(y - m_2x) = 0$$
On expanding we get 
$$b(y^2 - xy(m + m_2) + mm_2x^2) = 0$$
From which we get $-b(m + m_2) = 2h$
and $bmm_2 = a$.
Also $a_2x^2 + 2h_2xy + b_2y^2 = 0$ can be represented as $b_2(y- m_3x)(y - m_4x) = 0$
Which is same as $$b_2(y- mx)\left(y + {1\over m_2}x\right) = 0$$
On doing same procedure as we did with first pair of lines,
we get $\displaystyle 2h_2 = \left({1\over m_2} - m\right)b_2$ and $\displaystyle {-bm\over m_2} = a_2$
On substituting these values in (+) we get $${ha_2b_2\over b_2 - a_2} = {h_2ab\over b - a} = {bb_2m\over 2}$$
but $\displaystyle \sqrt{-aa_2bb_2} = b_2bm$ 
From this I am getting $$\sqrt{-aa_2bb_2} \ne {ha_2b_2\over b_2 - a_2} = {h_2ab\over b - a}$$.

Where did I go wrong ?

The equations of two perpendicular lines can be put in the form $\alpha x+\beta y=0$ and $c(\beta x-\alpha y)=0$ ($c\ne0$). We now add an arbitrary third, shared line $\gamma x+\delta y=0$. The resulting equations for pairs of lines that meet the conditions of the problem are then $$\begin{align}(\alpha x+\beta y)(\gamma x+\delta y)=\alpha\gamma x^2+(\alpha\delta+\beta\gamma)xy+\beta\delta y^2&=0 \\ c(\beta x-\alpha y)(\gamma x+\delta y)=c\beta\gamma x^2+c(\beta\delta-\alpha\gamma)xy-c\alpha\delta y^2&=0\end{align}$$ from which we have $$\begin{align}a&=\alpha\gamma \\ b&=\beta\delta \\ h&= \frac12(\alpha\delta+\beta\gamma)\end{align}$$ and $$\begin{align}a_2&=c\beta\gamma \\ b_2&=-c\alpha\delta \\ h_2&=\frac12c(\beta\delta-\alpha\gamma).\end{align}$$ So, $${h_2ab\over b-a}={c(\beta\delta-\alpha\gamma)\cdot\alpha\gamma\cdot\beta\delta\over2(\beta\delta-\alpha\gamma)}=\frac12c\alpha\beta\gamma\delta$$ and $${ha_2b_2\over b_2-a_2}=-{(\alpha\delta+\beta\gamma)\cdot c\beta\gamma\cdot c\alpha\delta\over2\cdot(-c\alpha\delta-c\beta\gamma)}=\frac12c\alpha\beta\gamma\delta.$$ (The denominators are non-zero, otherwise the third line coincides with one of the two orthogonal lines.) Finally, $$aa_2bb_2 = \alpha\gamma\cdot c\beta\gamma\cdot\beta\delta\cdot (-c\alpha\delta) = -(c\alpha\beta\gamma\delta)^2$$ so $$\sqrt{-aa_2bb_2}=|c\alpha\beta\gamma\delta|.$$ Unfortunately, this doesn’t equal the previous expressions. The extra factor of 2 can be eliminated by removing it from the middle term of the original line pair equations, but without other conditions, I don’t see a way to guarantee that $c\alpha\beta\gamma\delta$ is positive.
