lines :
(i)
(ii)
Proof : (i)
Substituting in equation (2),

Substituting x = 1in equation (1),

the coordinates of the of intersection of the first two equations are (1,2).
Substituting in the LHS of the third equation,
LHS = 2(1) + 3(2)
= 2 + 6 = 8 =RHS.
Hence, the coordinates of the point of intersection of all the three lines are (1, 2), the same.
the lines are concurrent.
(ii)
Substituting in the equation

Substituting in the equation

Substituting
LHS = 7(2) – 4(2)
= 14 – 8 = 6 = RHS.
the coordinates of the point of intersection of all the three lines are (2,2), the same.
the lines are concurrent.
