The required locus is obtained by eliminating the variable \mathrm{m} from the given equations of the lines. Then we have

\mathrm{\left(\frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{2}\right)\left(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}\right)=m\left(\frac{1}{m}\right) \Rightarrow \frac{x^{2}}{9}-\frac{y^{2}}{4}=1}

This is clearly a hyperbola.
