Consider the equation as shown:
(x-a)(y-b) = (x-2a)(y- b/2)
x(x + 1/2b) + y(y + a/2) -2xy = 5+(x-y)²
On comparing the coefficient, a student says these pairs of equations is consistent. Is he/she correct? Which of these explains why?
(a) Yes; because they are parallel lines.
(b) No; because they are interesting lines.
(c) Yes; because they are parallel lines.
(d) No; because they are interesting lines.
