The correct Answer is:
To find the locus of the point of intersection of the lines given by the equations \( x + y = 3 + \lambda \) and \( 5x - y = 7 + 3\lambda \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the equations We have two equations: 1. \( x + y = 3 + \lambda \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 5x - y = 7 + 3\lambda \) (Equation 2) ### Step 2: Solve for \( x \) and \( y \) To find the point of intersection, we can add the two equations to eliminate \( y \). Adding Equation 1 and Equation 2: \[ (x + y) + (5x - y) = (3 + \lambda) + (7 + 3\lambda) \] This simplifies to: \[ 6x = 10 + 4\lambda \] Now, solving for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{10 + 4\lambda}{6} = \frac{5 + 2\lambda}{3} \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( x \) back to find \( y \) Now that we have \( x \), we can substitute it back into Equation 1 to find \( y \): \[ y = 3 + \lambda - x \] Substituting \( x \): \[ y = 3 + \lambda - \frac{5 + 2\lambda}{3} \] To simplify, we need a common denominator: \[ y = \frac{9 + 3\lambda - (5 + 2\lambda)}{3} \] This simplifies to: \[ y = \frac{9 - 5 + 3\lambda - 2\lambda}{3} = \frac{4 + \lambda}{3} \] ### Step 4: Express \( \lambda \) in terms of \( x \) and \( y \) From our expressions for \( x \) and \( y \): 1. \( x = \frac{5 + 2\lambda}{3} \) 2. \( y = \frac{4 + \lambda}{3} \) We can express \( \lambda \) in terms of \( x \): \[ 2\lambda = 3x - 5 \implies \lambda = \frac{3x - 5}{2} \] And in terms of \( y \): \[ \lambda = 3y - 4 \] ### Step 5: Set the two expressions for \( \lambda \) equal to each other Since both expressions represent the same \( \lambda \): \[ \frac{3x - 5}{2} = 3y - 4 \] ### Step 6: Clear the fraction and simplify Multiply through by 2 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 3x - 5 = 6y - 8 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 3x - 6y = -3 \] Dividing through by 3: \[ x - 2y = -1 \] ### Final Step: Rearranging to standard form Rearranging gives us the locus equation: \[ 2y - x = 1 \] ### Conclusion The locus of the point of intersection of the lines is given by: \[ \boxed{2y - x = 1} \]
