On comparing the ratios $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}$ , $\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$ and $\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$ , and without drawing them, find out whether the lines representing the following pairs of linear equations intersect at a point and parallel or coincide:
$6 x - 3 y + 10 = 0$ $2 x - y + 9 = 0$

Solution

$6 x - 3 y + 10 = 0 ⟶ (i) 2 x - y + 9 = 0 ⟶ (i i) 6 x - 3 y + 10 = 0$
Comparing with $a_{1} x + b_{1} y + c_{1} = 0$
We get ,
$a_{2} = 2, b_{2} = - 1, c_{2} = 9$
Now ,
$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{- 3}{- 1} = 3 \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}} = \frac{10}{9}$
$∴ \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$
We have no solution.
Therefore , the lines that represent the linear equations are parellel.
