☼ Concurrent lines :- If three or more distinct coplanar lines pass through a single common point, they are said to be concurrent lines and that point is called their point of concurrence.
e.g. In the adjacent diagram lines l1, l2, and l3 are called concurrent lines and the point P is called the point of concurrence.
The necessary and sufficient conditions for three distinct lines
l1 : a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 : Where,
l2 : a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 : Where,
l3 : a3x + b3y + c3 = 0 : Where,
to be concurrent are :
(i) a1b2 – a2b1 0, (ii) a2b3 – a3b2 0, (iii) a3b1 – a1b3 0,
and (iv)
☼ The equation of a line passing through the intersection of l1 : a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and l2 : a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 is :
a1x + b1y + c1 + (a2x + b2y + c2) = 0 :
☼ The equations of angle bisectors of two intersecting lines l1 : a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and l2 : a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 are :
