The equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of the lines $2 x+3 y+6=0,3 x-y-13=0$ and parallel to the line $3 x-4 y+5=0$ is
  1. $3 x-4 y+75=0$
  2. $3 x-4 y+15=0$
  3. $3 x-4 y+25=0$
  4. $3 x-4 y-25=0$

Solution

Let $L_1 \equiv 2 x+3 y+6=0$ $ L_2 \equiv 3 x-y-13=0 $ Equation of line passing through the point of intersection. $ \begin{array}{r} L_1+\lambda L_2=0 \\ (2 x+3 y+6)+\lambda(3 x-y-13)=0 \\ (2+3 \lambda) x+(3-\lambda) y+6-13 \lambda=0 \end{array} $ Which is parallel to the line $ 3 x-4 y+5=0 $ On comparing the coefficient, we get $ \begin{aligned} \frac{2+3 \lambda}{3}=\frac{3-\lambda}{-4} & =\frac{6-13 \lambda}{5} \\ -8-12 \lambda & =9-3 \lambda \end{aligned} $ $\lambda=-\frac{17}{9}$ putting this value in required equation, we get $ \begin{array}{rlrl} \left(2-\frac{51}{9}\right) x+\left(3+\frac{17}{9}\right) y+6+\frac{221}{9} & =0 \\ \Rightarrow & & -33 x+44 y+275 & =0 \\ \Rightarrow & & 3 x-4 y-25 & =0 . \end{array} $
