Solution

Dear student
The equation of any line through the intersection of the lines x+2y+3=0and 3x+4y+7=0 is x+2y+3+λ3x+4y+7=01+3λx+y2+4λ+3+7λ=0 1The line in 1 is parallel to the line y=3x.So, their slopes are equal-1+3λ2+4λ=3-1-3λ=6+12λ-3λ-12λ=6+1-15λ=7λ=-715So putting the value of λ x+2y+3+-7153x+4y+7=015x+30y+45-21x-28y-49=06x-2y+4=03x-y+2=0
