The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the conditions under which the diagonals of the quadrilateral formed by the given lines are perpendicular. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Lines:** The given lines are: - Line 1: \( ax + by + c = 0 \) - Line 2: \( a'x + b'y + c = 0 \) - Line 3: \( ax + by + c' = 0 \) - Line 4: \( a'x + b'y + c' = 0 \) 2. **Understanding the Quadrilateral:** The quadrilateral is formed by the intersection points of these lines. The lines \( ax + by + c = 0 \) and \( ax + by + c' = 0 \) are parallel, and the lines \( a'x + b'y + c = 0 \) and \( a'x + b'y + c' = 0 \) are also parallel. 3. **Finding the Intersection Points:** The intersection points of these lines can be found by solving pairs of equations: - Intersection of Line 1 and Line 2 - Intersection of Line 1 and Line 4 - Intersection of Line 3 and Line 2 - Intersection of Line 3 and Line 4 4. **Condition for Perpendicular Diagonals:** For the diagonals of the quadrilateral to be perpendicular, the slopes of the diagonals must satisfy the condition: \[ m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1 \] where \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are the slopes of the diagonals. 5. **Finding the Slopes:** The slopes of the lines can be calculated as follows: - Slope of Line 1: \( m_1 = -\frac{a}{b} \) - Slope of Line 2: \( m_2 = -\frac{a'}{b'} \) - Slope of Line 3: \( m_3 = -\frac{a}{b} \) - Slope of Line 4: \( m_4 = -\frac{a'}{b'} \) 6. **Using the Distance Formula:** The distance between two parallel lines \( ax + by + c_1 = 0 \) and \( ax + by + c_2 = 0 \) is given by: \[ d = \frac{|c_2 - c_1|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} \] Thus, the distances between the pairs of lines can be calculated. 7. **Establishing the Relationship:** Since the diagonals are perpendicular, we can derive the relationship: \[ a^2 + b^2 = a'^2 + b'^2 \] ### Conclusion: The condition for the quadrilateral formed by the given lines to have perpendicular diagonals is: \[ a^2 + b^2 = a'^2 + b'^2 \]
