The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the relationship between the given lines and the line \(3x + 2y = 0\). We will analyze the slopes of the lines and their intersections to find out where the line \(3x + 2y = 0\) passes through. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given lines:** - Line 1: \(3x - 4y = 0\) - Line 2: \(x + y = 0\) - Line 3: \(2x - 3y = 7\) 2. **Convert the equations to slope-intercept form (y = mx + c):** - For Line 1: \[ 3x - 4y = 0 \implies 4y = 3x \implies y = \frac{3}{4}x \quad \text{(Slope \(m_1 = \frac{3}{4}\))} \] - For Line 2: \[ x + y = 0 \implies y = -x \quad \text{(Slope \(m_2 = -1\))} \] - For Line 3: \[ 2x - 3y = 7 \implies 3y = 2x - 7 \implies y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{7}{3} \quad \text{(Slope \(m_3 = \frac{2}{3}\))} \] 3. **Find the slopes of the lines:** - \(m_1 = \frac{3}{4}\) - \(m_2 = -1\) - \(m_3 = \frac{2}{3}\) 4. **Check if any lines are perpendicular:** - For two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slopes should equal \(-1\). - Check \(m_1 \cdot m_3\): \[ m_1 \cdot m_3 = \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \quad \text{(Not perpendicular)} \] - Check \(m_1 \cdot m_2\): \[ m_1 \cdot m_2 = \frac{3}{4} \cdot (-1) = -\frac{3}{4} \quad \text{(Not perpendicular)} \] - Check \(m_2 \cdot m_3\): \[ m_2 \cdot m_3 = (-1) \cdot \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{2}{3} \quad \text{(Not perpendicular)} \] 5. **Analyze the line \(3x + 2y = 0\):** - Convert to slope-intercept form: \[ 3x + 2y = 0 \implies 2y = -3x \implies y = -\frac{3}{2}x \quad \text{(Slope \(m_L = -\frac{3}{2}\))} \] 6. **Check the relationship between line \(3x + 2y = 0\) and Line 3:** - Check if they are perpendicular: \[ m_L \cdot m_3 = -\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} = -1 \quad \text{(They are perpendicular)} \] 7. **Determine the intersection point (orthocenter):** - Since the line \(3x + 2y = 0\) is perpendicular to Line 3 and passes through the origin (0,0), it indicates that the orthocenter of the triangle formed by the three lines is at the origin. ### Conclusion: The line \(3x + 2y = 0\) always passes through the orthocenter of the triangle formed by the lines \(3x - 4y = 0\), \(x + y = 0\), and \(2x - 3y = 7\).
