Question 7.
Find equation of the line parallel to the line 3x – 4y + 2 = 0 and passing through the point (-2, 3).

Solution:
We have given an equation of line 3x – 4y + 2 = 0
Slop of the line(i) = 3/4
Thus, slope of any line parallel to the given line (i) is 3/4 and passes through (-2, 3), then its equation is

Question 8.
Find equation of the line perpendicular to the line x – 7y + 5 = 0 and having x intercept 3.

Solution:
Given equation is x – 7y + 5 = 0 … (i)
Slope of this line = 1/7
∴ Slope of any line perpendicular to the line (i) is -7 and passes through (3, 0) then
y – 0 = -7(x – 3)
[∵ Product of slope of perpendicular lines is -1]
⇒ y = -7x + 21
⇒ 7x + y – 21 = 0, is the required equation of line.
