Given a linear equation 2x + 3y - 8 = 0, another linear equation in two variables such that the geometrical representation of the pair of lines so formed will be parallel, is
x/2 + 3y/2 - 8 = 0
x - 3y/2 - 4 = 0
4x + 6y +16 = 0
x + 3y/2 + 4 = 0
Answers
Answer:
a) Intersecting lines
Solution: For intersecting line, the linear equations should meet following condition:

For getting another equation to meet this criterion, multiply the coefficient of x with any number and multiply the coefficient of y with any other number. A possible equation can be as follows:
4x+9y−8=0
(b) Parallel lines
Solution: For parallel lines, the linear equations should meet following condition:
a

For getting another equation to meet this criterion, multiply the coefficients of x and y with the same number and multiply the constant term with any other number. A possible equation can be as follows:
4x+6y–24=0
(c) Coincident lines
Solution: For getting coincident lines, the equations should meet following condition;
