Eliminate\theta\, from a\cos\theta+b\sin\theta+c=0\, and a_1 \cos\theta+b_1 \sin\theta+c_1=0\,

By rule of cross-multiplication from the given equations,we get

\frac{\cos\theta}{bc_1-b_1c}=\frac{\sin\theta}{ca_1-c_1a}=\frac{1}{ab_1-a_1b}\,

\cos\theta=\frac{bc_1-b_1c}{ab_1-a_1b},\sin\theta=\frac{ca_1-c_1a}{ab_1-a_1b}\,

From \cos^2 \theta+\sin^2 \theta=1,[\frac{bc_1-b_1c}{ab_1-a_1b}]^2+[\frac{ca_1-c_1a}{ab_1-a_1b}]^2=1\,

Simplifying

(bc_1-b_1c)^2+(ca_1-c_1a)^2=(ab_1-a_1b)^2\,

Hence in the given equations,\theta\, is eliminated.
