BITSAT2011MathematicsStraight LinesActual
The family of straight lines ((2 a+3 b) x+(a-b) y+2 a-4 b=0 ) is concurrent at the point
Options
- A( ( 2 5 , -14 5 ) )
- B( ( -2 5 , -14 5 ) )
- C( ( -2 5 , 14 5 ) )
- D( ( 2 5 , 14 5 ) )
Correct answer
A. ( ( 2 5 , -14 5 ) )
Step-by-step solution
Rewriting the equation ((2 x+y+2) a+(3 x-y-4) b=0 ) and for all (a ), ( b ) the straight lines pass through the intersection of (2 x+y+2=0 ) and (3 x-y-4=0 ) i.e., the point ( ( 2 5 ,- 14 5 ) ).
