Given, line equations:
4x + 3y = 1 … (1)
5x + 4y = 2 … (2)
On solving the above equation to find the point of intersection, we have
Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by 3
16 x + 12y = 4
15x + 12y = 6
On subtracting, we get
x = -2
Putting the value of x in (1), we have
4(-2) + 3y = 1
-8 + 3y = 1
3y = 1 + 8 = 9
y = 9/3 = 3
Hence, the point of intersection is (-2, 3).
(i) Given line, x + 2y – 5 = 0
2y = -x + 5
y = -(1/2) x + 5/2
Slope (m) = -1/2
A line parallel to this line will have the same slope m = -1/2
So, the equation of line having slope m and passing through (-2, 3) will be
y – 3 = (-1/2) (x + 2)
2y – 6 = -x – 2
x + 2y = 4
(ii) As any line perpendicular to x-axis will be parallel to y-axis.
So, the equation of line will be
x = -2 ⇒ x + 2 = 0
