48. The lines 2x+3y+19=0 and 9x+6y17=0 cut the coordinate axes in concyclic points.

(1988, 1M)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Since, a1x+b1y+c1=0 and a2x+b2y+c2=0 cuts the coordinate axes at concyclic points.

a1a2=b1b2 or a1b2+b1a2=0

Given lines are, 2x+3y+19=0

 and 9x+6y17=0

Here, a1=2,b1=3,c1=19

and a2=9,b2=6,c2=17

a1a2=18

and b1b2=18

a1a2=b1b2. Thus, points are concyclic.

Hence, given statement is true.
