Mathematics Question on Horizontal and vertical lines

The lines x + 2y - 5 = 0, 2x - 3y + 4 = 0, 6x + 4y - 13 = 0

A

are concurrent.

B

form a right angled triangle.

C

form an isosceles triangle

D

form an equilateral triangle

Answer

form a right angled triangle.

Explanation

Solution

Lines II and III are at right angles [(23)(32)=1[ \because \, (\frac{2}{3})(- \frac{3}{2}) = - 1 Lines I and II intersect at the point (1, 2) and (1, 2) does not belong to III. Hence, the lines are not concurrent, i.e., they form a right angled triangle.
