Correct answer: 32
-
For three lines to not form a triangle, at least one of the following must happen:
- some two lines are parallel, or
- all three lines are concurrent.
Let the lines be:
-
First, check whether and are parallel.
Write in slope form:
So and are not parallel.
-
Find values of such that is parallel to .
For : So slope of is .
Parallel to means:
-
Find values of such that is parallel to .
Parallel to means:
-
Now check concurrency of all three lines.
First find intersection point of and .
From :
Substitute into :
Then
So intersection point is
-
For concurrency, this point must satisfy :
-
Therefore all real values of for which the three lines do not form a triangle are:
-
Sum of squares of these values:
-
Hence,
So the required integer is .
