What is the equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of the lines x + 2y – 3 = 0 and 2x – y + 5 = 0 and parallel to the line y – x + 10 = 0 ? a. 7x – 7y + 18 = 0 b. 5x – 7y + 18 = 0 c. 5x – 5y + 18 = 0 d. x – y + 5 = 0 |

Answer» Correct option c. 5x – 5y + 18 = 0 Explanation: Equation of line is x + 2y - 3 + λ(2x - y + 5) = 0 ⇒ (1 + 2λ)x + (2 - λ)y + 5λ - 3 = 0 Now, (1 + 2λ)/(λ - 2) = 1 ⇒ λ = - 3 ∴ Equation is –5x + 5y – 18 = 0 ⇒ 5x – 5y + 18 = 0 |
