Find the equation of the line drawn through the point of intersection of the
lines $x-y=1$ and $2 x-3 y+1=0$ and which is parallel to the line $3 x+4 y=12$
Suppose the given two lines intersect at a point $P\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)$. Then, $\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)$ satisfies each of the given equations.
$x-y=1 \ldots(1)$
$2 x-3 y+1=0 \ldots$ (ii)
Now, we find the point of intersection of eq. (i) and (ii)
Multiply the eq. (i) by 2, we get
$2 x-2 y=2$
or $2 x-2 y-2=0 \ldots$ (iii)
On subtracting eq. (iii) from (ii), we get
$2 x-3 y+1-2 x+2 y+2=0$
$\Rightarrow-y+3=0$
$\Rightarrow y=3$
Putting the value of y in eq. (i), we get
$x-3=1$
$\Rightarrow x=1+3$
$\Rightarrow x=4$
Hence, the point of intersection $P\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)$ is $(4,3)$
Now, we find the slope of the given equation $3 x+4 y=12$
We know that the slope of an equation is
$\mathrm{m}=-\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{b}}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{m}=-\frac{3}{4}$
So, the slope of a line which is parallel to this line is also $-\frac{3}{4}$
Then the equation of the line passing through the point $(4,3)$ having a slope $-\frac{3}{4}$ is:
$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$
$\Rightarrow y-(3)=-\frac{3}{4}(x-4)$
$\Rightarrow y-3=-3 x+12$
$\Rightarrow 4 y-12=-3 x+12$
$\Rightarrow 3 x+4 y-12-12=0$
$\Rightarrow 3 x+4 y-24=0$
