If 2x−3y=7 and (a+b)x−(a+b−3)y=4a+b represent coincident lines then a and b satisfy the equation
The correct option is C: a−5b=0
2x−3y=7 and (a+b)x−(a+b−3)y=4a+b represent coincident lines then,
Condition for coincident lines, a1a2=b1b2=c1c2, we can also write like this:
a2a1=b2b1=c2c1
Here, a1=2,b1=−3,c1=−7 & a2=(a+b),b2=−(a+b−3),c2=−(4a+b)
∴a+b2=−(a+b−3)−3=−(4a+b)−7
⇒a+b2=4a+b7
⇒7(a+b)=2(4a+b)
⇒7a+7b=8a+2b
∴a−5b=0
So, the correct option is C: a−5b=0
