On comparing the ratios (a(1))/(a(2)), (...

On comparing the ratios `(a_(1))/(a_(2)), (b_(1))/(b_(2)) and (c_(1))/(c_(2))`, find out whether the lines representing the following pairs of linear equations intersect at a point, are parallel or coincident:
`6x- 3y+10=0`
`2x-y+ 9=0`

The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the lines represented by the equations \(6x - 3y + 10 = 0\) and \(2x - y + 9 = 0\) intersect at a point, are parallel, or are coincident, we will compare the ratios of the coefficients of the variables and the constants. ### Step 1: Write the equations in standard form The given equations are already in standard form: 1. \(6x - 3y + 10 = 0\) 2. \(2x - y + 9 = 0\) ### Step 2: Identify coefficients From the first equation \(6x - 3y + 10 = 0\), we can identify: - \(a_1 = 6\) - \(b_1 = -3\) - \(c_1 = 10\) From the second equation \(2x - y + 9 = 0\), we can identify: - \(a_2 = 2\) - \(b_2 = -1\) - \(c_2 = 9\) ### Step 3: Calculate the ratios Now we will calculate the ratios: 1. \(\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3\) 2. \(\frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{-3}{-1} = 3\) 3. \(\frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{10}{9}\) ### Step 4: Compare the ratios Now we compare the calculated ratios: - \(\frac{a_1}{a_2} = 3\) - \(\frac{b_1}{b_2} = 3\) - \(\frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{10}{9}\) ### Step 5: Analyze the results Since \(\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2}\) but \(\frac{c_1}{c_2} \neq \frac{a_1}{a_2}\) (or \(\frac{b_1}{b_2}\)), we conclude that the lines are parallel. ### Final Conclusion The lines represented by the equations \(6x - 3y + 10 = 0\) and \(2x - y + 9 = 0\) are parallel. ---
