Find the equation of the line drawn through the point of intersection of the lines $x+y=9$ and $2 x-3 y+7=0$ and whose slope is $\frac{-2}{3}$
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.
$x+y=9 \ldots$ (i)
$2 x-3 y+7=0 \ldots$ (ii)
Now, we find the point of intersection of eq. (i) and (ii)
Multiply the eq. (i) by 2, we get
$2 x+2 y=18$
or $2 x+2 y-18=0 \ldots$ (iii)
On subtracting eq. (iii) from (ii), we get
$2 x-3 y+7-2 x-2 y+18=0$
$\Rightarrow-5 y+25=0$
$\Rightarrow-5 y=-25$
$\Rightarrow y=5$
Putting the value of y in eq. (i), we get
$x+5=9$
$\Rightarrow x=9-5$
$\Rightarrow x=4$
Hence, the point of intersection $\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right)$ is $(4,5)$
Now, we have to find the equation of the line passing through the point (4, 5) and having
slope $=-\frac{2}{3}$
Equation of line: $y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$
$\Rightarrow y-5=-\frac{2}{3}(x-4)$
$\Rightarrow 3 y-15=-2 x+8$
$\Rightarrow 2 x+3 y-15-8=0$
$\Rightarrow 2 x+3 y-23=0$
Hence, the equation of line having slope $-2 / 3$ is $2 x+3 y-23=0$
