When lines are concurrent they intersect at same point.
Solving, 2x + 5y = 1 and x - 3y = 6 simultaneously.
⇒ x - 3y = 6
⇒ x = 6 + 3y
Substituting x = 3y + 6 in 2x + 5y = 1 we get,
⇒ 2(3y + 6) + 5y = 1
⇒ 6y + 12 + 5y = 1
⇒ 11y = -11
⇒ y = -1.
Substituting y = -1 in x = 6 + 3y we get,
x = 6 + 3(-1) = 6 - 3 = 3.
∴ 2x + 5y = 1 and x - 3y = 6 intersect in the point (3, -1).
Solving, x + 5y + 2 = 0 and x - 3y = 6 simultaneously.
⇒ x - 3y = 6
⇒ x = 3y + 6
Substituting x = 3y + 6 in x + 5y + 2 = 0 we get,
⇒ 3y + 6 + 5y + 2 = 0
⇒ 8y + 8 = 0
⇒ 8y = -8
⇒ y = -1.
Substituting y = -1 in x = 3y + 6 we get,
x = 3(-1) + 6 = -3 + 6 = 3.
∴ x + 5y + 2 = 0 and x - 3y = 6 intersect in the point (3, -1).
Hence, proved that 2x + 5y = 1, x - 3y = 6 and x + 5y + 2 = 0 are concurrent.
