Question
Graphically, find whether the following pair of equations has no solution, unique solution or infinitely many solutions:
$5x - 8y + 1 = 0; ...(i)$
$3x -$ $\frac{24}{5}$y + $\frac{3}{5}$ $= 0 ...(ii)$

Answer

$a_1 = 5,\ b_1 = -8,\ c_1 = 1$ and $a_2 = 3,\ b_2 =$ $\frac{-24}{5}$, $c_2 =$ $\frac{3}{5}$
$\frac { a _ { 1 } } { a _ { 2 } }$ = $\frac{5}{3}$ ...(i)
$\frac { b _ { 1 } } { b _ { 2 } }$ =$\frac { - 8 } { - 24 / 5 }$ = $\frac{5}{3}$ $...(ii)$
and $\frac { c _ { 1 } } { c _ { 2 } }$ = $\frac { 1 } { 3 / 5 }$ = $\frac{5}{3}$ $...(iii)$
Form $(i), (ii)$ and $(iii)$
$\frac { a _ { 1 } } { a _ { 2 } } = \frac { b _ { 1 } } { b _ { 2 } } = \frac { c _ { 1 } } { c _ { 2 } }$
$\therefore$The pair of equations has infinitely many solutions.
