Check if three straight lines are concurrent or not

Given three lines equation, 
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 
a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 
a3x + b3y + c3 = 0
The task is to check whether the given three lines are concurrent or not. Three straight lines are said to be concurrent if they pass through a point i.e., they meet at a point.
Examples: 
 

Input : a1 = 2, b1 = -3, c1 = 5
        a2 = 3, b2 = 4, c2 = -7
        a3 = 9, b3 = -5, c3 = 8
Output : Yes

Input : a1 = 2, b1 = -3, c1 = 5
        a2 = 3, b2 = 4, c2 = -7
        a3 = 9, b3 = -5, c3 = 4
Output : No

Let 
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 ………. (1) 
a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 ………. (2) 
a3x + b3y + c3 = 0 ………. (3)
Suppose the eqn (i) and (ii) intersects at (x1, y1). Then (x1, y1) will satisfy both the equations. 
Therefore, solving (i) and (ii) using method of cross-multiplication, we get, 
(x1/b1c2 – b2c1) = (y1/c1a2 – c2a1) = (1/a1b2 – a2b1)
Therefore, 
x1 = (b1c2 – b2c1/a1b2 – a2b1) and 
y1 = (c1a2 – c2a1/a1b2 – a2b1), a1b2 – a2b1 != 0
Therefore, the required coordinates of the point of intersection of the lines (i) and (ii) are 
(b1c2 – b2c1/a1b2 – a2b1, c1a2 – c2a1/a1b2 – a2b1)
For, three of line to be concurrent, (x1, y1) must satisfy the equation (iii) as well. 
So, 
a3x + b3y + c3 = 0 
=> a3(b1c2 – b2c1/a1b2 – a2b1) + b3(c1a2 – c2a1/a1b2 – a2b1) + c3 = 0 
=> a3(b1c2 – b2c1) + b3(c1a2 – c2a1) + c3(a1b2 – a2b1) = 0
So, we only need to check if above condition satisfy or not.
Below is the implementation of this approach:

// line are concurrent or not
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Return true if three line are concurrent,
// else false.
bool checkConcurrent(int a1, int b1, int c1,
                      int a2, int b2, int c2,
                      int a3, int b3, int c3)
{
    return (a3 * (b1 * c2 - b2 * c1) +
            b3 * (c1 * a2 - c2 * a1) + 
            c3 * (a1 * b2 - a2 * b1) == 0);
}

    int a1 = 2, b1 = -3, c1 = 5;
    int a2 = 3, b2 = 4, c2 = -7;
    int a3 = 9, b3 = -5, c3 = 8;
 
    (checkConcurrent(a1, b1, c1, a2, b2, c2,
     a3, b3, c3) ? (cout << "Yes") : (cout << "No"));
    return 0;
}

        return (a3 * (b1 * c2 - b2 * c1) +
                b3 * (c1 * a2 - c2 * a1) +
