To prove that if the lines \( ax + y + 1 = 0 \), \( x + by + 1 = 0 \), and \( x + y + c = 0 \) (where \( a, b, c \) are distinct and different from 1) are concurrent, then \( \frac{1}{1-a} + \frac{1}{1-b} + \frac{1}{1-c} = 1 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equations in standard form The equations of the lines can be rewritten as: 1. \( ax + y + 1 = 0 \) → Coefficients: \( (a, 1, 1) \) 2. \( x + by + 1 = 0 \) → Coefficients: \( (1, b, 1) \) 3. \( x + y + c = 0 \) → Coefficients: \( (1, 1, c) \) ...
