Introduction to Pair of Lines

  1. Any given General Quadratic Equation in 2 Variables mathematically represents a Pair of Lines if the Value of the Determinant of its E-Matrix (denoted by \(\Delta\) ) is Zero.

    Depending on the Values of the Determinant of its e-Matrix (denoted by \(J\) ) and the Value of related Algebraic Entity \(K\), the Pair of Lines can be of following 5 Types
    1. 2 Co-Incident Real Lines when \(J=0\) and \(K=0\)
    2. 2 Parallel Real Lines when \(J=0\) and \(K<0\)
    3. 2 Parallel Imaginary Lines when \(J=0\) and \(K>0\)
    4. 2 Intersecting Real Lines when \(J<0\)
    5. 2 Intersecting Imaginary Lines when \(J>0\)
  2. A General Quadratic Equation in 2 Variables representing a Pair of Lines can be Factored into it's 2 Constituent Real or Complex Linear Equations as follows

    \(A_1x + B_1y + C_1=0\)

    \(A_2x + B_2y + C_2=0\)

    The Coefficients \(A_1, A_2, B_1\) and \(B_2\) and the Constants \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) can be Real or Complex based on the Type of Pair of Lines as follows
    1. For 2 Co-Incident Real Lines, 2 Parallel Real Lines and 2 Intersecting Real Lines all the Coefficients and Constants are Real.
    2. For 2 Intersecting Imaginary Lines \(A_1\) and \(A_2\), \(B_1\) and \(B_2\), \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) are Complex Conjugates of Each Other.
    3. For 2 Parallel Imaginary Lines \(A_1, A_2, B_1\) and \(B_2\) are Real but \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) are Complex Conjugates of Each Other.
  3. The Point of Intersection between 2 Intersecting Imaginary Lines is Real.
