Question

Question: The lines represented by the equation \(9x^{2} + 24xy + 16y^{2} + 21x + 28y + 6 = 0\) are...

The lines represented by the equation

9x2+24xy+16y2+21x+28y+6=09x^{2} + 24xy + 16y^{2} + 21x + 28y + 6 = 0 are

A

Parallel

B

Coincident

C

Perpendicular

D

None of these

Answer

Parallel

Explanation

Solution

Given lines are not perpendicular i.e., aba \neq - b

Checking for parallel lines, ah=hb=gf\frac{a}{h} = \frac{h}{b} = \frac{g}{f}

(3x+4y+6)(3x+4y+1)=0912=1216=2128(3x + 4y + 6)(3x + 4y + 1) = 0 \Rightarrow \frac{9}{12} = \frac{12}{16} = \frac{21}{28}

Hence lines are parallel.
