Solution

The given equation of lines are,x-2y+3=0 .....12x-3y+4=0 .....2Multiply equation1 by 2 and subtract with equation 2, we have,2x-4y+6-2x-3y+4=0-y+2=0y=2Sustitute y=2 in equation1, we havex-2×2+3=0x=1Since this line is parallel to the line joining the points 1,1 and 0,-1 therefore both have same slope.Slopem of the line joining the points 1,1 and 0,-1=-1-10-1=2Now, equation of the line passing through x1,y1 and having slope m is, y - y1 = mx - x1y - 2 = 2x - 1y = 2x
