Solution:
We know that infinite number of lines passes through a point.
Equation of 2 lines passing through (2,14) should be in such a way that it satisfies the point.
Let the equation be, 7x = y
7x–y = 0
When x = 2 and y = 14
(7×2)-14 = 0
14–14 = 0
0 = 0
L.H.S = R.H.S
Let another equation be, 4x = y-6
4x-y+6 = 0
When x = 2 and y = 14
(4×2–14+6 = 0
8–14+6 = 0
0 = 0
L.H.S = R.H.S
Since both the equations satisfies the point (2,14), than say that the equations of two lines passing through (2, 14) are 7x = y and 4x = y-6
We know that, infinite number of line passes through one specific point. Since there is only one point (2,14) here, there can be infinite lines that passes through the point.
