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=b1b2≠c1c2
⇒3a=4b≠11c.....(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-
a1a2≠b1b2
⇒3a≠4b.....(2)
Assuming any value of a,b and c such that equation (2) is satified.
