JEE MainMathematicsModerateStraight Lines

If a^2 + b^2 - c^2 - 2ab = 0, then the family of straight
lines ax + by + c = 0 is concurrent at the points

Show answer and solution
Given, a^2 + b^2 - c^2 - 2ab = 0
⇒\Rightarrow (a - b)^2 - c^2 = 0
⇒\Rightarrow (a - b - c) (a - b + c) = 0
⇒\Rightarrow - a + b + c = 0
or a - b + c = 0

On comparing with ax + by + c =
