On comparing the ratios
, and without drawing them, find out whether the lines representing the following pairs of linear equations intersect at a point, are parallel or coincide:
(i) ![]()
![]()
(ii) ![]()
![]()
(iii) ![]()
![]()
Two lines, a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
If
, then the lines coincide
If
, then the lines are parallel
If
, then the lines intersect
(i) ![]()
![]()
![]()
Thus,
.
The lines intersect.
(ii) ![]()
![]()
![]()
Thus, ![]()
The lines are coincident.
(iii) ![]()
![]()
![]()
Thus, ![]()
The lines are parallel.
