IfXis any constant ax + by + c + X (ax + by+c) = 0 representsa straight line passing through the intersection of the straight linesax + by + c = 0 and ax + by + c = 0. The proof of Art. 34 holds good for oblique axes. E 66 OBLIQUE AXES. [chap. iv. 72. If in any equation we write x + h for x and y + k far y, theresulting equation is the equation of the same locus refewed to parallelaxes through the point (h, k). The proof of Art. 36 holds good. 73. As the point (x^, y.^) moves from one side of the straight linekK+By + O = 0 to the other, the expression ArCj + Byj + C changes itssign. The proof of Art. 37 holds good. 74.
