2 lines will only interact if they share at similar point.vipulgoyal wrote:The line represented by which of the following equations does not interact with the line represented by

To test if they intersect, we should set both lines to be equal
If we give a solution, then the lines intesect
If we don't get a solution, the lines do not interact
A)
Y=2x^2 +5x +1 = 3x^2 +5x +1
0 = x^2 + x --> we can solve for a solution, therfore line intersects
B)
Y= x^2 +5x +2 = 3x^2 +5x +1
0 = 2x^2 -1 --> we can solve for a solution, therfore line intersects
C)
Y=3x^2 +5x +2 = 3x^2 +5x +1
2 = 1 --> impossible, there is no solution, therefore lines do not intersects, we can stop here
D)
Y=3x^2 +7x +2 = 3x^2 +5x +1
0 = -2x -1 --> we can solve for a solution, therfore line intersects
E)
Y=x^2 +7x +1 = 3x^2 +5x +1
0 = 2x^2 -2x --> we can solve for a solution, therfore line intersects
