Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The lines represented by the equation x^2 - 6xy + 9y^2 = 0 are:
  • Step 1: Start with the equation x^2 - 6xy + 9y^2 = 0.
  • Step 2: Recognize that this is a quadratic equation in terms of x and y.
  • Step 3: Try to factor the equation. Look for two identical factors.
  • Step 4: Notice that (x - 3y)(x - 3y) = (x - 3y)^2.
  • Step 5: Rewrite the equation as (x - 3y)^2 = 0.
  • Step 6: Understand that (x - 3y)^2 = 0 means x - 3y = 0.
  • Step 7: Solve x - 3y = 0 to find the line represented by the equation.
  • Step 8: The line can be written as x = 3y, which means it is a single line.
  • Step 9: Since both factors are the same, the lines are coincident (the same line).
