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 [∵(32)(−23)=−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.
