Let L be a set of n lines in a plane. Let's assume that there are no parallel lines in L, no vertical lines, and no two cutting points (vertices) with the same X coordinate (and no 3 lines that pass through the same point). For some two x values, a

Consider the equation $y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right) .$ In this equation, if $m$ and $x_{1}$ are fixed and different lines are drawn for different values of $y^{1}$, then, (A) the lines will pass through a single point (B) there will be one possible line only (C) there will be a set of parallel lines (D) none of these
Let $L$ be the line that passes through the point $\left(x_{0}, y_{0}, z_{0}\right)$ and is parallel to the vector $\mathbf{v}=\langle a, b, c\rangle,$ where $a, b,$ and $c$ are nonzero. Show that a point $(x, y, z)$ lies on the line $L$ if and only if $$ \frac{x-x_{0}}{a}=\frac{y-y_{0}}{b}=\frac{z-z_{0}}{c} $$ These equations, which are called the symmetric equations of $L,$ provide a nonparametric representation of $L .$
