Detailed Solution

The given linear equations are

8 x + 6 y = 28

and

− 12 x = 9 y

.
Comparing these equations with general form of linear equation

a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 = 0

and

a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 = 0

.
We get the values

a 1 = 8, b 1 = 6, c 1 = − 28, a 2 = 12, b 2 = 9, a n d, c 2 = 0

.
We know that the system of equations have coincident lines if

a 1 a 2 = b 1 b 2 = c 1 c 2

.
Let’s find the ratios of each corresponding term.

⇒ a 1 a 2 = 812 ⇒ a 1 a 2 = 23

⇒ b 1 b 2 = 69 ⇒ b 1 b 2 = 23

And,

⇒ c 1 c 2 = − 28 0 ⇒ c 1 c 2 = 0

As we can see that

a 1 a 2 = b 1 b 2 ≠ c 1 c 2

for the given pair of linear equation.
The given pair of equations have no solutions and the lines will be not be coincident.
Thus, the given statement is false.
The given pair of equations will form parallel lines.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
