Find the equation of the lines which pass through the point of intersection of the line 4x−3y−1=0, 2x−5y+3=0 and are equally inclined to the axes

Solution
By 8(4)P.5, the slope of the line equally inclined to axes is tan(±45o)=±1. Hence by P+λQ=0, 2λ+45λ+3=±1 ⇒λ=13,−1. Putting for λ, the two lines are x−y=0,x+y−2=0.
