Given,

Equations :

⇒ 2x - 2y - 2 = 0, 4x - 4y - 5 = 0

Comparing equations 2x - 2y - 2 = 0 and 4x - 4y - 5 = 0 with a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 respectively, we get :

a1 = 2, b1 = -2, c1 = -2, a2 = 4, b2 = -4 and c2 = -5.

a1a2=24=12\dfrac{a1}{a2} = \dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{1}{2}

b1b2=24=12\dfrac{b1}{b2} = \dfrac{-2}{-4} = \dfrac{1}{2}

c1c2=25=25\dfrac{c1}{c2} = \dfrac{-2}{-5} = \dfrac{2}{5}

Since, a1a2\dfrac{a1}{a2} = b1b2\dfrac{b1}{b2}c1c2\dfrac{c1}{c2}.

Hence, pair of lines are inconsistent.
