Consider the lines given by L_(1):x+3y-5=0 L_(2):3x-ky-1=0 L_(3):5x+2y-12=0 Match the following lists.

Answer»


SOLUTION :Given LINES are
`L_(1): x+3y-5 = 0`
`L_(2): 3x-ky-1 = 0`
`L_(3): 5x+2y-12 = 0`
`L_(1) " and " L_(3)` intersect at (2, 1)
`therefore L_(1), L_(2), L_(3)` are concurrent if
6-k-1 = 0 or k=5
`"For " L_(1), L_(2)` to be parallel
`(1)/(3) = (3)/(-k) RARR k = -9`
`"For " L_(2), L_(3)` to be parallel
`(3)/(5) = (-k)/(2) rArr k = (-6)/(5)`
Thus, for k = 5, lines are concurrent and for `k = -9, (-6)/(5),` at least two lines are parallelk. So, for these values of k, lines will not FORM triangle.
Obviously, for `k ne 5, -9, (-6)/(5),` lines form triangle.
