If the straight line `x/a+y/b=1` passes through the line point of intersection of the lines `x+y=3 `and `2x-3y=1` and is parallel to `x-y-6=0` , find `a` and `b`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,
`x + y − 3 = 0 -> (1)`
`2x − 3y − 1 = 0->(2) `
Solving `(1)` and `(2)` using cross - multiplication method:
`x/(−1−9)=y/(−6+1)=1/(−3−2) `
`=> x = 2 , y = 1`
Given that the line `x/a+y/b=1` pass through `(2, 1)`
