Solution

The correct option is B $\frac{- 3}{5}$
Since the two parallel lines have equal slopes therefore, slope of $l_{1}$ should be equal to slope of $l_{2}$ .
It is given that slope of $l_{1}$ is $- \frac{3}{5}$ ,
Hence, the slope of $l_{2}$ is $- \frac{3}{5}$

l_{1}

l_{2}

are parallel. Find the slope of

l_{1}

l_{1} | | l_{2}

and the slope of

l_{1}

is 3/4, then the slopes of

l_{2}

is .......... .

L_{1} : \frac{x - 1}{2} = \frac{y - 2}{1} = \frac{z - 3}{1}

L_{2} : \frac{x}{1} = \frac{y}{- 1} = \frac{z - 5}{3}

and passing through the point of intersection of

L_{1}

L_{2}

L_{1}

\frac{x}{5} + \frac{y}{b} = 1

passes through the point

M (13, 32)

L_{2}

L_{1}

and has the equation

\frac{x}{c} + \frac{y}{3} = 1

. Then the distance between

L_{2}

l_{1} ⊥ l_{2}

and the the slope of

l_{1}

\frac{1}{2}

, then the the slope of
