Which of the following is true about the three lines
$L _{1}: x - 3y + 7 = 0 , L _{2} : 2x + y - 3 = 0$ and $L _{3} : 7x +\dfrac{7y}{2}-\dfrac{21}{2}=0$

  1. Lines form a triangle

  2. Lines are concurrent

  3. Lines can not bound any region

  4. None of these

C Correct answer
Explanation

Given equations of lines as
$L _{1}: x - 3y + 7 = 0 $
Slope of $L _{1}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}$
$ L _{2} : 2x + y - 3 = 0$ 
Slope of $L _{2}=-2$
$L _{3} : 7x +\dfrac{7y}{2}-\dfrac{21}{2}=0$
Slope of $L _{3}=-2$
$\Rightarrow L _{2}$ and $L _{3}$ are parallel
Hence, lines cannot bound any region.

Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point $ (6,2)  $ and having slope $ -3 .  $

  1. $x-3y-10=0$
  2. $3x+y-20=0$
  3. $x+2y-40=0$
  4. $3x-y-10=0$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Equation of any line is $y=mx+c$


here $m$ is slope of line 


so we have $m=-3$

$y=-3x+c$

Also this line passes through $(6, 2)$

$2=-18+c\Rightarrow c=20$

so equation of line will be $y+3x=20$

or $3x+y-20=0$.
