The correct Answer is:
To find the equations of the straight lines passing through the point of intersection of the lines \(Ax + By + C = 0\) and \(A'x + B'y + C' = 0\) and passing through the origin, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the equations of the lines We have two lines given by: 1. \(Ax + By + C = 0\) 2. \(A'x + B'y + C' = 0\) ### Step 2: Find the point of intersection To find the point of intersection \((x_1, y_1)\) of the two lines, we can solve the equations simultaneously. From the first equation, we can express \(y\) in terms of \(x\): \[ By = -Ax - C \implies y = -\frac{A}{B}x - \frac{C}{B} \] Substituting this expression for \(y\) into the second equation: \[ A'x + B'\left(-\frac{A}{B}x - \frac{C}{B}\right) + C' = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ A'x - \frac{B'A}{B}x - \frac{B'C'}{B} + C' = 0 \] Combining the \(x\) terms: \[ \left(A' - \frac{B'A}{B}\right)x + C' - \frac{B'C}{B} = 0 \] From here, we can solve for \(x_1\): \[ x_1 = \frac{\frac{B'C}{B} - C'}{A' - \frac{B'A}{B}} \] Substituting \(x_1\) back into the equation for \(y\): \[ y_1 = -\frac{A}{B}x_1 - \frac{C}{B} \] ### Step 3: Find the slope \(m\) The line that passes through the origin and the point of intersection \((x_1, y_1)\) can be expressed in slope-intercept form \(y = mx\). The slope \(m\) can be calculated as: \[ m = \frac{y_1}{x_1} \] ### Step 4: Substitute \(y_1\) and \(x_1\) into the slope formula Substituting the expressions for \(y_1\) and \(x_1\) into the slope formula gives: \[ m = \frac{-\frac{A}{B}x_1 - \frac{C}{B}}{x_1} \] This simplifies to: \[ m = -\frac{A}{B} - \frac{C}{Bx_1} \] ### Step 5: Write the equation of the line The equation of the line passing through the origin with slope \(m\) is: \[ y = mx \] Substituting the value of \(m\) gives: \[ y = \left(-\frac{A}{B} - \frac{C}{Bx_1}\right)x \] ### Final Step: General form of the line The general form of the line can be expressed as: \[ By = -Ax - C \] This represents the family of lines passing through the point of intersection of the two given lines and through the origin.
