On comparing the ratios a1/a2 b1/b2 c1/c2,findout whether the lines representing the following pairs of linear equations intersect at a point , are parallel or coincident: 5x-4y+8=0 7x+6y-9=0

The given linear equations are 5x – 4y + 8 = 0 and 7x + 6y – 9 = 0.

Here a ₁ = 5, b ₁ = – 4, c ₁ = 8

and a ₂ = 7, b ₂ = 6, c ₂ = – 9

So the pair of linear equation has a unique solutions. The lines representing the pair of linear equations intersect at a point.
