Pair Of Straight Lines Question 112

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

Options:

A) Parallel

B) Coincident

C) Perpendicular

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Given lines are not perpendicular i.e., $ a\ne -b $

Checking for parallel lines, $ \frac{a}{h}=\frac{h}{b}=\frac{g}{f} $

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

Hence lines are parallel.
