Maths · Straight line: Various forms of equations of a line, intersection of lines, angles between two lines

Classify the following pair of line as coincident, parallel or intersecting \&

Classify the following pair of line as coincident, parallel or intersecting \( \boldsymbol{x}-\mathbf{2} \boldsymbol{y}+\mathbf{3}=\mathbf{0} \) \& \( \mathbf{3} \boldsymbol{x}-\mathbf{6} \boldsymbol{y}+\mathbf{9}=\mathbf{0} \)

  • A. Parallel
  • B. Intersecting
  • C. coincident
  • D. None of these

Step-by-step solution

The second equation is exactly 3 times the first equation, so both equations represent the same line. Therefore, the lines are coincident.
