At what angle do lines \(y = Kx + B\) and \(y = Bx + K\) intersect ?

1. \(B + K = 1\)
2. \(BK = 0\)
Show more

B and K are slopes of tho two lines respecitvel
(1) B+K =1 have multiple solutions of values of B and K..
not sufficient
(2) BK =0 at least one of them must be zero.
when K=0 b can be any values
Multiple solutions

combined.

BK=0 B+k=1
assume B=0 K=1 two lines are Y= X and Y=1 (Parrell to X axis) angle 45
assume K=0 B =1 two lines are Y=1 and Y=x (Parrell to X axis) angle 45
Sufficient

C is the answer

This is cool explanation. Thanks.
Do you guys know anything about DS questions asking whether quadratic functions intersect?
How to solve them? (because there is no slope to deal with).
Thanks.

It is a question from GMATClub Quant Test Set 24. I am not sure whether I can legally copy it here. Can I?
It is a DS question, where two quadratic functions are given (similar to y=kX^2+b) and the question is whether they intersect...

At what angle do lines \(y = Kx + B\) and \(y = Bx + K\) intersect ?

(1) \(B + K = 1\)
(2) \(BK = 0\)

can anyone draw a figure for me How can we say its C?

Thank u :)

From \(B + K = 1\) and \(BK = 0\) we have that b=0 and k=1 OR b=1 and k=0. In either cases the two lines are y=x and y=1:

Hope it helps.
