  1. A The lines are concurrent at the point \(\left( {\frac{3}{4},\frac{1}{2}} \right)\)
  2. B Each line passes through the origin.
  3. C The lines are all parallel
  4. D The lines are not concurrent
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The lines are concurrent at the point \(\left( {\frac{3}{4},\frac{1}{2}} \right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(px + qy + r = 0\) \(px + qy + \left( {\frac{{ - 3p - 2q}}{4}} \right) = 0\) \(p\left( {x - \frac{3}{4}} \right) + q\left( {y - \frac{2}{4}} \right) = 0\) \(x = \frac{3}{4}\,\,\) and \(y = \frac{1}{2}\)
