Q64

What is the equation of line whose slope is - 12 and passes through the intersection of the lines x - y = -1 and 3x - 2y = 0?

What is the equation of line whose slope is and passes through the intersection of the lines x - y = -1 and 3x - 2y = 0?
A.
x + 2y = 8
Answer
B.
3x + y = 7
C.
x + 2y = -8
D.
3x + y = -7

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Given,
Equation of the lines:
x - y = -1 . . . . . . (i)
3x - 2y = 0 . . . . . . (ii)
From equation (i) & (ii)
Intersecting co-ordinate (x1, y1) = (2, 3)
m = given
Now,
Required equation of the line
= y - y1 = m(x - x1)
= y - 3 = (x - 2)
x + 2y = 8
