Find the equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of the lines 4x + 7y – 3 = 0 and 2x – 3y + 1 = 0 that has equal intercepts on the axes.
Solution:
The given equation of lines are 4x + 7y – 3 = 0 ... (i) and 2x – 3y + 1 = 0 ... (ii) On solving (i) and (ii), we get x = , y = Thus the lines (i) and (ii) meets at Hence the equation of the line passing through and has equal intercepts on the axes is = 1 [Since a = b] ⇒ = 1 ⇒ 6 = 13a ⇒ a = . ∴ The required equation of line is 13(x + y) = 6.
