The paths traced by the wheels of two trains are given by equations $$x + 2y - 4 = 0$$ and $$2x + 4y - 12 = 0$$. Will the paths cross each other?
$$9x+3y+12=0\\18x+6y+24=0$$
We have,
$$9x+3y+12=0\quad ...(i)\\18x+6y+24=0\quad ...(ii)$$
Here,
$$a_1=9,b_1=3,c_1=12$$ and $$a_2=18,b_2=6,c_2=24$$
$$\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{9}{18}=\dfrac{1}{2}; \quad \dfrac{b_1}{b_2} =\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}; \quad \dfrac{c_1}{c_2}=\dfrac{12}{24}=\dfrac{1}{2}$$
$$\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}$$
So equations (i) and (ii) represent coincident lines.

Draw the graph for the linear equation given below:$$x + 3 = 0$$
The lines representing the linear equations $$2x - y - 3$$ and $$4x - y = 5$$
If the pair of linear equation in two variable has infinite number of solutions, then the lines represented by these equation are:
The value of $$\lambda$$ for which $$x + 2y + 7 = 0$$ and $$2x + \lambda y + 14 = 0$$ represent coincident lines is
