Let ax+by+c=0 be a variable straight line, where a, b and c are 1st, 3rd and 7th terms of some increasing A.P. Then the variable straight line always passes through a fixed point which lies on

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given equation `ax+by+c=0−−−−−`(1)
Here a,b,c are 1st,3rd,7th terms of increasing A.P
Hence `b=a+2` and `c=a+6`
From equation (1)
`ax+(a+2)y+(a+6)=0`
Here on putting `x=2,y=−3 `the above equation is satisfied
Hence fixed point is `(2,3)` ...
