Solution

  • (i) parallel lines
Equation of first line: 3x+4y+11=0
Let the equation of second line be ax+by+c=0
For parallel lines-
a1a2=b1b2c1c2
3a=4b11c.....(1)
Assuming any value of a,b and c such that equation (1) is satified.
3x+4y+22=0
Hence the equation of second line be 3x+4y+22=0.
  • (ii) intersecting lines
Equation of first line: 3x+4y+11=0
Let the equation of second line be ax+by+c=0
For intersecting lines-
a1a2b1b2
3a4b.....(2)
Assuming any value of a,b and c such that equation (2) is satified.
6x+4y+11=0
Hence the equation of second line be 6x+4y+11=0.
