To determine if the 3 lines have a common point, we'll
            have to determine the solution of the system formed by the equations of the 3
            lines:
x+ 3y +7 =0
We'll
            subtract 7 both sides:
x + 3y = -7
            (1)
3x+2y +11=0
We'll
            subtract 11 both sides:
3x + 2y = -11
            (2)
2x+y+4=0
We'll subtract 4
            both sides:
2x + y = -4
            (3)
We'll determine the matrix of the system. The
            determinant is formed from the coefficients of x and
            y.
1 3
    A
            =  3    2
           
            2    1
We'll take the first2 lines and columns of the
            matrix and we'll calculate the minor of the matrix
            A.
1 3
d
            =   
3 2
d = 1*2
            - 3*3 = 2 - 9 = -7
Now, we'll calculate the determinant
            that we'll tell us if the system has solution or not.
This
            determinant will be formed from the minor, the last row and the column of the terms from
            the right side of equal:
        1    3   
            -7
C = 3 2 -11
       
            2    1    -4
C = -2*4 - 7*3 - 3*2*11 + 2*2*7 + 11 +
            3*3*4
C = - 8 - 21 - 66 + 28 + 11 +
            36
C = 20 - 1 - 30
C =
            -11
Since C is not zero, the system has no
            solutions.
If the system doesn't have
            solutions, that means that the lines do not intercepting or do not have any common
            point.
