The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the straight line that passes through the intersection of the lines \(2x + y = 1\) and \(3x + 2y = 5\) and also passes through the origin, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the intersection point of the two lines. We have the equations: 1. \(2x + y = 1\) (Equation 1) 2. \(3x + 2y = 5\) (Equation 2) We can solve these equations simultaneously. Let's express \(y\) from Equation 1: \[ y = 1 - 2x \] Now, substitute \(y\) in Equation 2: \[ 3x + 2(1 - 2x) = 5 \] Expanding this gives: \[ 3x + 2 - 4x = 5 \] Combining like terms results in: \[ -x + 2 = 5 \] Solving for \(x\): \[ -x = 5 - 2 \implies -x = 3 \implies x = -3 \] Now substitute \(x = -3\) back into Equation 1 to find \(y\): \[ 2(-3) + y = 1 \implies -6 + y = 1 \implies y = 1 + 6 \implies y = 7 \] Thus, the intersection point is \((-3, 7)\). ### Step 2: Use the point-slope form to find the equation of the line. We have two points: the intersection point \((-3, 7)\) and the origin \((0, 0)\). We can use the point-slope form of the line equation: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \] where \(m\) is the slope given by: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] Using the points \((0, 0)\) and \((-3, 7)\): \[ m = \frac{7 - 0}{-3 - 0} = \frac{7}{-3} = -\frac{7}{3} \] Now substituting into the point-slope form using point \((0, 0)\): \[ y - 0 = -\frac{7}{3}(x - 0) \implies y = -\frac{7}{3}x \] ### Step 3: Rearranging the equation. To express this in standard form: \[ 7x + 3y = 0 \] Thus, the equation of the straight line is: \[ \boxed{7x + 3y = 0} \]
