Entrance Rankers Class Notes - Straight Lines RN

FAMILY OF LINES : The group of lines ( infinte in number ) passing through the point of intersection
of 𝐿1: a1 x  b1 y  c1  0 and 𝐿2: a 2 x  b2 y  c 2  0 are called A Family of Lines denoted by

a1 x  b1 y  c1    a 2 x  b2 y  c2   0 where  is any arbitrary real constant.
