Problem

In a city map drawn on a Cartesian grid, Road XX is known to pass through the intersections (0,0)(0,0) and (3,6)(3,6). Another Road YY is reported to pass through (0,0)(0,0) and (5,10)(5,10). (a) Determine the equations of Road XX and Road YY. (b) Decide whether Road XX and Road YY are truly two different roads or actually the same road represented twice. Give complete reasoning based on their common points and the theorem regarding the intersection of lines.
