Answer:

Conversely, if two equations represent the same line, then one must be the same as the other multiplied by some non-zero constant. In other words, the ratios of the corresponding coefficients must be equal. For example, if 2x – 3y = 5 and ax + by = c represent the same line, then: 2/a = -3/b = 5/c
