There are two straight lines in the x-y plane with equations:
ax + by = c
dx + ey = f
Do the two straight lines intersect?
A. a, b, c, d, e and f are distinct real numbers.
B. c and f are non-zero.
Using option B we know that since the constantĀ terms are non-zero and unique , the lines do not intersect at the origin. Also since other coefficients areĀ not equal , the lines can be parallel or intersecting . Hence, the question cannot be answered even by using both statements together.
