Give the equations of two lines passing through (2, 14). How many more such lines are there, and why?
Here,
x = 2 and y = 14
Hence,
x + y = 16
Also,
y = 7x
y – 7x = 0
Therefore,
The equations of two lines passing through (2, 14) are:
x + y = 16
And,
y – 7x = 0
There would be infinite such lines because infinite number of lines can pass through a given point.
