Prove that the following sets of three lines are concurrent:
(i) 15x – 18y + 1 = 0, 12x + 10y – 3 = 0 and 6x + 66y – 11 = 0
(ii) 3x – 5y – 11 = 0, 5x + 3y – 7 = 0 and x + 2y = 0



Answer -

(i) 15x – 18y + 1 = 0, 12x+ 10y – 3 = 0 and 6x + 66y – 11 = 0

Given:

15x – 18y + 1 = 0 ……(i)

12x + 10y – 3 = 0 ……(ii)

6x + 66y – 11 = 0 ……(iii)

Now, consider thefollowing determinant:

=> 1320 – 2052 +732 = 0

Hence proved, thegiven lines are concurrent.

(ii) 3x – 5y – 11 = 0, 5x +3y – 7 = 0 and x + 2y = 0

Given:

3x − 5y − 11= 0 …… (i)

5x + 3y − 7= 0 …… (ii)

x + 2y =0 …… (iii)

Now, consider thefollowing determinant:

Hence, the given linesare concurrent.
