Question

The lines 2x + 2y + 1 = 0 and 8x – 2y + 9 = 0 intersect in the

• A. 1^st quadrant
• B. 2^nd quadrant
• C. 3^rd quadrant
• D. 4^th quadrant

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2^nd quadrant

2x + 2y + 1 = 0 …………….(i)

8x – 2y + 9 = 0 …………………………(ii)

After solving equation (i) and (ii)

x = - 1 and y = $\frac{1}{2}$

$(-1,\frac{1}{2})$; which is in $2^{nd}$ quadrant.
