Which of the following pairs of equations represents coincident lines on a graph?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(2x-3y=6\); \(4x-6y=12\)
In option A, every term of the second equation is twice the corresponding term of the first. Thus \(a_1/a_2=b_1/b_2=c_1/c_2\), so the lines coincide and have infinitely many solutions. Exam tip: compare all three ratios.
