The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the straight line passing through the intersection of the lines \( x - 2y - a = 0 \) and \( x + 3y - 2a = 0 \), and parallel to the line \( 3x + 4y = 0 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the intersection of the two lines To find the intersection point of the lines \( x - 2y - a = 0 \) and \( x + 3y - 2a = 0 \), we can solve these equations simultaneously. 1. From the first equation, express \( x \) in terms of \( y \): \[ x = 2y + a \] 2. Substitute this expression for \( x \) into the second equation: \[ (2y + a) + 3y - 2a = 0 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 5y - a = 0 \implies y = \frac{a}{5} \] 3. Now substitute \( y = \frac{a}{5} \) back into the expression for \( x \): \[ x = 2\left(\frac{a}{5}\right) + a = \frac{2a}{5} + \frac{5a}{5} = \frac{7a}{5} \] Thus, the intersection point is \( \left(\frac{7a}{5}, \frac{a}{5}\right) \). ### Step 2: Write the general equation of the line through the intersection The equation of a line passing through the intersection of the two given lines can be expressed as: \[ x - 2y - a + \lambda (x + 3y - 2a) = 0 \] where \( \lambda \) is a parameter. ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Expanding the equation: \[ x - 2y - a + \lambda x + 3\lambda y - 2a\lambda = 0 \] Combining like terms: \[ (1 + \lambda)x + (-2 + 3\lambda)y - (a + 2a\lambda) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Determine the slope of the line The slope of the line in the form \( Ax + By + C = 0 \) is given by \( -\frac{A}{B} \). Here, \( A = 1 + \lambda \) and \( B = -2 + 3\lambda \). Thus, the slope is: \[ \text{slope} = -\frac{1 + \lambda}{-2 + 3\lambda} = \frac{1 + \lambda}{2 - 3\lambda} \] ### Step 5: Set the slope equal to the slope of the line \( 3x + 4y = 0 \) The slope of the line \( 3x + 4y = 0 \) is \( -\frac{3}{4} \). Setting the slopes equal gives: \[ \frac{1 + \lambda}{2 - 3\lambda} = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 6: Cross-multiply and solve for \( \lambda \) Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 4(1 + \lambda) = 3(2 - 3\lambda) \] Expanding both sides: \[ 4 + 4\lambda = 6 - 9\lambda \] Combining like terms: \[ 4\lambda + 9\lambda = 6 - 4 \implies 13\lambda = 2 \implies \lambda = \frac{2}{13} \] ### Step 7: Substitute \( \lambda \) back into the equation Substituting \( \lambda = \frac{2}{13} \) into the equation: \[ (1 + \frac{2}{13})x + (-2 + 3 \cdot \frac{2}{13})y - \left(a + 2a \cdot \frac{2}{13}\right) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{15}{13}x + \left(-2 + \frac{6}{13}\right)y - \left(a + \frac{4a}{13}\right) = 0 \] \[ \frac{15}{13}x + \left(-\frac{26}{13} + \frac{6}{13}\right)y - \frac{17a}{13} = 0 \] \[ \frac{15}{13}x - \frac{20}{13}y - \frac{17a}{13} = 0 \] ### Step 8: Multiply through by 13 to eliminate the denominator Multiplying through by 13 gives: \[ 15x - 20y - 17a = 0 \] Thus, the equation of the line is: \[ 15x - 20y = 17a \] ### Final Answer The equation of the straight line is: \[ 15x - 20y = 17a \]
