Let `a x+b y+c=0`be a variable straight line, whre `a , ba n dc`are the 1st, 3rd, and 7th terms of an increasing AP, respectively.Then prove that the variable straight line always passes through a fixedpoint. Find that point.

Answer» Let the common difference of A.P.be d.
Then b=a+2d and c=a+6d.
So, given variable straight line will be
ax+(a+2d)y+a+6d=0
or a(x+y+1) + d(2y+6)=0
This is the equation of family of straight lines concurrent at point of intersection of lines x+y+1=0 and 2y+6=0 which (2,-3).
