define family of lines
Dear Sushant
any line through the point of intersection of the lines a1x +b1y +c1=0 and a2x +b2y +c2=0 can be represented by the equation
(a1x +b1y +c1) + λ(a2x +b2y +c2)=0
where λis a parameter.
this the family of straight lines
All the best.

In solid geometry, a family of Lines may actually be curved. For example a line may be drawn on the surface of a sphere. In plane geometry, we describe it as totally straight in all dimensions. If a Family of Lines is not straight, we usually refer to it as a curvature, arc, or curved line. In flat surface geometry the word 'line' is usually taken to mean a straight line. Concept of Family of Lines: The joint equation of the straight lines a1x +b1y +c1 = 0 and a2x +b2y+ c2 = 0 is (a1x +b1y +c1) (a2x +b2y+ c2) = 0 ax² +2hxy+by²+2gx+2fy+c = 0 is joint equation of a pair of straight lines(family of lines). Where The equation ax² +2hxy+by²+2gx+2fy+c = 0 is known as general equation of second degree. The equation ax² +2hxy+by² = 0 is known as homogeneous equation of second degree. In a homogeneous equation of second degree, the sum of indices (exponents) of x and y in each term is equal to 2. In family of lines, the homogeneous equation of second degree ax² +2hxy+by² = 0 represents a joint equation of two straight lines passing through the origin if h²≥ab. If y = m1x and y = m2x are the lines represented by a homogeneous equation of second degree ax² +2hxy+by² = 0, then (i) m1 =m2 = -2h/b (ii) m1m2 = a/b The angle θ between the pair of lines represented the homogeneous equation of second degree ax² +2hxy+by² = 0 is given by tan θ = [2√(h² –ab)]/(a+b) If θ = 0, which means h² = ab lines are coincident. Lines are perpendicular (Family of Lines) means θ = π/2, tan θ = ∞, and cot θ = 0.This means a+b = 0 or a = -b Coefficient of x² = coefficient of y² ax² +2hxy+by²+2gx+2fy+c = 0 will represent a pair of straight lines if the determinant [[[a,h,g],[h,b,f],[g,f,c]]] = 0 Expanding the determinant abc +2fgh -af² -bg² -ch² = 0 Angle θ between the lines represented by the general second degree equation ax² +2hxy+by²+2gx+2fy+c = 0 is given by tan θ = [2 √(h² – ab)]/(a+b) Algorithm to Find Separate Equations of Family of Lines: Algorithm to find separate equations of lines in ax² +2hxy+by²+2gx+2fy+c = 0 Step 1: Find factors for the homogeneous part ax² +2hxy+by². Let the factors be (a1x +b1y ) and (a2x +b2y ) Step 2: Add constants c1 and c2 to them. (a1x +b1y +c1) and (a2x +b2y +c2). Step 3: Multiply (a1x +b1y +c1) and (a2x +b2y +c2) and compare with ax² +2hxy+by²+2gx+2fy+c to obtain equations in c1 and c2. Step 4: Solve the equations and get values of c1 and c2.Pls.
