The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the given four lines are concurrent, we will analyze the equations of the lines: 1. **Equations of the Lines**: - Line 1: \( x + 2y - 3 = 0 \) (let's call this \( L_1 \)) - Line 2: \( 3x + 4y - 7 = 0 \) (let's call this \( L_2 \)) - Line 3: \( 2x + 3y - 4 = 0 \) (let's call this \( L_3 \)) - Line 4: \( 4x + 5y - 6 = 0 \) (let's call this \( L_4 \)) 2. **Finding the Intersection of Lines**: We will check if the lines are concurrent by finding the intersection point of any three lines and checking if the fourth line passes through that point. 3. **Finding Intersection of \( L_3 \) and \( L_4 \)**: We will eliminate \( y \) by manipulating the equations of \( L_3 \) and \( L_4 \). - From \( L_3 \): \[ 2x + 3y - 4 = 0 \implies 3y = 4 - 2x \implies y = \frac{4 - 2x}{3} \] - Substitute \( y \) in \( L_4 \): \[ 4x + 5\left(\frac{4 - 2x}{3}\right) - 6 = 0 \] Multiply through by 3 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 12x + 5(4 - 2x) - 18 = 0 \] Simplifying: \[ 12x + 20 - 10x - 18 = 0 \implies 2x + 2 = 0 \implies 2x = -2 \implies x = -1 \] - Substitute \( x = -1 \) back into \( L_3 \) to find \( y \): \[ 2(-1) + 3y - 4 = 0 \implies -2 + 3y - 4 = 0 \implies 3y = 6 \implies y = 2 \] - Thus, the intersection point of \( L_3 \) and \( L_4 \) is \( (-1, 2) \). 4. **Checking if \( (-1, 2) \) lies on \( L_1 \)**: Substitute \( (-1, 2) \) into \( L_1 \): \[ -1 + 2(2) - 3 = -1 + 4 - 3 = 0 \quad \text{(True)} \] 5. **Checking if \( (-1, 2) \) lies on \( L_2 \)**: Substitute \( (-1, 2) \) into \( L_2 \): \[ 3(-1) + 4(2) - 7 = -3 + 8 - 7 = -2 \quad \text{(False)} \] 6. **Conclusion**: The point \( (-1, 2) \) lies on \( L_1 \), \( L_3 \), and \( L_4 \) but not on \( L_2 \). Therefore, three of the lines are concurrent, while the fourth line does not pass through this point. ### Final Answer: Only three of the lines are concurrent.
