AI Generated Solution

To find the value of \( \lambda \) for which the three lines \( 2x - 5y + 3 = 0 \), \( 5x - 9y + \lambda = 0 \), and \( x - 2y + 1 = 0 \) are concurrent, we will use the condition that the determinant formed by the coefficients of the lines must be zero. ### Step 1: Write the equations in standard form The equations of the lines are: 1. \( 2x - 5y + 3 = 0 \) 2. \( 5x - 9y + \lambda = 0 \) 3. \( x - 2y + 1 = 0 \) ...
