It's not mysterious that they meet somewhere. These are linear functions so they can't help but meet at exactly one point (or zero if they were parallel)

If they were parallel they wouldn't meet. See °C and K

I meant "meet at zero points" so they don't meet. Maybe my wording wasn't perfectly clear

Ah right, for some reason I couldn't read it properly. My bad

Or °F and °R. Not that anyone really uses R.

even parallel lines will meet at a point if you’re working in projective space
