The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of a straight line that belongs to both families given by the equations: 1. \((x + y - 1) + \lambda(2x + 3y - 5) = 0\) 2. \((3x + 2y - 4) + \mu(x + 2y - 6) = 0\) we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearranging the First Family of Lines Start with the first equation: \[ x + y - 1 + \lambda(2x + 3y - 5) = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ x + y - 1 + \lambda(2x + 3y - 5) = 0 \] This can be expressed as: \[ x + y + \lambda(2x + 3y) - \lambda \cdot 5 - 1 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Finding a Point on the First Line Set \(\lambda = 0\) to find a specific line: \[ x + y - 1 = 0 \implies y = -x + 1 \] To find a point, let’s choose \(x = -2\): \[ y = -(-2) + 1 = 3 \] Thus, the point on the first line is \((-2, 3)\). ### Step 3: Rearranging the Second Family of Lines Now consider the second equation: \[ (3x + 2y - 4) + \mu(x + 2y - 6) = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 3x + 2y - 4 + \mu(x + 2y - 6) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Finding a Point on the Second Line Set \(\mu = 0\) to find a specific line: \[ 3x + 2y - 4 = 0 \implies 2y = 4 - 3x \implies y = 2 - \frac{3}{2}x \] To find a point, let’s choose \(x = -1\): \[ y = 2 - \frac{3}{2}(-1) = 2 + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \] Thus, the point on the second line is \((-1, \frac{7}{2})\). ### Step 5: Finding the Equation of the Line through Two Points Now we have two points: - Point 1: \((-2, 3)\) - Point 2: \((-1, \frac{7}{2})\) Using the two-point form of the equation of a line: \[ y - y_1 = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}(x - x_1) \] Substituting the points: \[ y - 3 = \frac{\frac{7}{2} - 3}{-1 - (-2)}(x + 2) \] Calculating the slope: \[ \frac{\frac{7}{2} - 3}{-1 + 2} = \frac{\frac{7}{2} - \frac{6}{2}}{1} = \frac{1}{2} \] Thus, the equation becomes: \[ y - 3 = \frac{1}{2}(x + 2) \] ### Step 6: Simplifying the Equation Multiply through by 2 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 2(y - 3) = x + 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2y - 6 = x + 2 \implies x - 2y + 8 = 0 \] ### Final Answer The equation of the straight line that belongs to both families is: \[ \boxed{x - 2y + 8 = 0} \]
