The lines representing the linear equations $$2x - y - 3$$ and $$4x - y = 5$$

Aintersect at a point
Correct Answer
Bare parallel
Care coindicent
Dintersect at exactly two points

Solution

The given lines are
$$2x - y = 3$$
Here $$a_{1} = 2, b_{1} = -1, c_{1} = 3$$
and $$4x - y = 5$$
Here $$a_{2} = 4, b_{2} = -1, c_{2} = 5$$
$$\therefore \dfrac{a_1}{a_2} = \dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{1}{2}$$ and $$\dfrac{b_1}{b_2} = 1$$
$$\because \dfrac{a_1}{a_2} \neq \dfrac{b_1}{b_2}$$
Thus, lines will intersect at a point. Hence the correct option is (A).
