find the equation of line parallel to the line 3 x minus 4 Y + 2 = 0 passing through - 2, 3
Answers
Answer---> 3x - 4y + 18 = 0
To find----> Equation of line parallel to the line
3x - 4y + 2 = 0 and passing through ( - 2 , 3 ).
Solution----> We know that if equation of a line is
ax + by + c = 0
Then , equation of line parallel to above line is
ax + by + λ = 0
Now , equation of given line is
3x - 4y + 2 = 0 .......................( 1 )
By applyibg above concept , equation of line parallel to line ( 1 ) is ,
=> 3x - 4y + λ = 0 ......................,..( 2 )
Now , line ( 2 ) passes through ( - 2 , 3 )
=> 3 ( - 2 ) - 4 ( 3 ) + λ = 0
=> - 6 - 12 + λ = 0
=> - 18 + λ = 0
=> λ = 18
Putting λ = 18 , in equation ( 2 ) , we get, required equation of line,
=> 3x - 4y + 18 = 0
