In the XY coordinate plane, lines \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) intersect at (2, 4). If the equation of \(l_1\) is \(y = px + 16\) and the equation of \(l_2\) is \(y = mx + p\), where m and p are constants, what is the value of m?

since the two line intersect at (2,4), the point (2,4) satisfy both the equation of line.


Hence substituting point (2,4) in L1
4= p*2+16
p = -6

Hence substituting point (2,4) in L2 and p = -6
4=2m-6
m = 5

Hence Answer = D
