The equation of the line with slope -3/2 and which is concurrent with the lines 4x + 3y – 7 = 0 and 8x + 5y – 1 = 0 is

Given:


4x + 3y 7 = 0 … (1)


8x + 5y 1 = 0 … (2)


The equation of the line with slope – 3/2 is given below:


y = - 32x + c


32x + y - c = 0 … (3)


The lines (1), (2) and (3) are concurrent.






8c = 8


c = 1


On substituting c = 1 in , we get:



3x + 2y – 2 = 0
