Ex 3.1, 2 On comparing the ratios š1/š2 , š1/š2 & š1/š2 , find out whether the lines representing the following pair of linear equations intersect at a point, parallel or coincident 5x ā 4y + 8 = 0 ; 7x + 6y ā 9 = 0 5x ā 4y + 8 = 0 7x + 6y ā 9 = 0 5x ā 4y + 8 = 0 Comparing with a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 ā“ a1 = 5 , b1 = ā4 , c1 = 8 7x + 6y ā 9 = 0 Comparing with a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 ā“ a2 = 7 , b2 = 6 , c2 = ā9 ā“ a1 = 5 , b1 = ā4 , c1 = 8 & a2 = 7 , b2 = 6 , c2 = ā9 Since š1/š2 ā š1/š2 So, have unique solution Therefore, the lines that represent the linear equations intersect at a point
