  • If three lines whose equations are y = m1x + c1, y = m2x + c2 and y = m3x + c3 are concurrent, then show that m1(c2 – c3) + m2 (c3 – c1) + m3 (c1 – c2) = 0.

Q : 10       If three lines whose equations are  y=m_1x+c_1,y=m_2x+c_2 and   y=m_3x+c_3 are concurrent, then show that                                               m_1(c_2-c_3)+m_2(c_3-c_1)+m_3(c_1-c_2)=0.

Concurrent lines means they all intersect at the same point
Now, given equation of lines are 
y=m_1x+c_1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -(i)
y=m_2x+c_2 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -(ii)
y=m_3x+c_3 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -(iii)
Point of intersection  of equation (i) and (ii)  \left ( \frac{c_2-c_1}{m_1-m_2},\frac{m_1c_2-m_2c_1}{m_1-m_2} \right )

Now, lines are concurrent which means point \left ( \frac{c_2-c_1}{m_1-m_2},\frac{m_1c_2-m_2c_1}{m_1-m_2} \right )  also satisfy equation (iii)
Therefore,

\frac{m_1c_2-m_2c_1}{m_1-m_2}=m_3.\left ( \frac{c_2-c_1}{m_1-m_2} \right )+c_3

m_1c_2-m_2c_1= m_3(c_2-c_1)+c_3(m_1-m_2)

m_1(c_2-c_3)+m_2(c_3-c_1)+m_3(c_1-c_2)=0

Hence proved
