The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the straight line that passes through the point of intersection of the lines \( ax + by + c = 0 \) and \( a'x + b'y + c' = 0 \) and is parallel to the y-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the point of intersection of the two lines To find the point of intersection of the lines \( ax + by + c = 0 \) and \( a'x + b'y + c' = 0 \), we can solve these two equations simultaneously. 1. Rearranging the first equation: \[ by = -ax - c \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -\frac{a}{b}x - \frac{c}{b} \] 2. Substitute \( y \) from the first equation into the second equation: \[ a'x + b'\left(-\frac{a}{b}x - \frac{c}{b}\right) + c' = 0 \] Simplifying this will give us the x-coordinate of the intersection point. ### Step 2: Solve for the x-coordinate Rearranging the equation: \[ a'x - \frac{b'a}{b}x - \frac{b'c}{b} + c' = 0 \] Combine like terms: \[ \left(a' - \frac{b'a}{b}\right)x + \left(c' - \frac{b'c}{b}\right) = 0 \] From this, we can solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{\frac{b'c}{b} - c'}{a' - \frac{b'a}{b}} \quad \text{(if the denominator is not zero)} \] ### Step 3: Find the y-coordinate Substituting the value of \( x \) back into either of the original equations will yield the corresponding \( y \)-coordinate. ### Step 4: Equation of the line parallel to the y-axis A line parallel to the y-axis has the form \( x = k \), where \( k \) is the x-coordinate of the point of intersection. Therefore, the equation of the required line can be expressed as: \[ x = \text{(x-coordinate of intersection)} \] ### Step 5: General form of the equation The general form of the line passing through the point of intersection and parallel to the y-axis can be expressed as: \[ x \cdot b' - a' \cdot b + c \cdot b' - c' \cdot b = 0 \] This represents the required line in the desired format. ### Final Answer Thus, the equation of the straight line through the point of intersection of the two given lines and parallel to the y-axis is: \[ x \cdot b' - a' \cdot b + c \cdot b' - c' \cdot b = 0 \] ---
