Question 2 (i)
On comparing the ratios $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}$ , $\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$ and $\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$ , find out whether the lines representing the following pairs of linear equations intersect at a point, are parallel or coincident.
5x - 4y + 8 = 0
7x + 6y - 9 = 0

Solution

5x - 4y + 8 = 0
7x + 6y - 9 = 0
Comparing these equation with,
$a_{1} x + b_{1} y + c_{1} = 0$
$a_{2} x + b_{2} y + c_{2} = 0$
We get,
$a_{1} = 5, b_{1} = - 4, a n d c_{1} = 8$
$a_{2} = 7, b_{2} = 6 a n d c_{2} = - 9$
$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{5}{7},$
$\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{- 4}{6}$ and
$\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}} = \frac{8}{- 9}$
Hence, $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$
Therefore, both are intersecting lines at one point.
