To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the equation of the path that the person should follow to reach the line \(6x - 7y + 8 = 0\) in the least time. This involves finding the intersection point of the two given lines and then determining the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through that intersection point. ### Step 1: Find the intersection point of the two lines The equations of the two lines are: 1. \(2x - 3y + 4 = 0\) (let's call this Equation 1) 2. \(3x + 4y - 5 = 0\) (let's call this Equation 2) ...
