SEE THE FOLLOWING WHICH IS SIMILAR TO YOUR PROBLEM AND DO
GIVEN:
� There is a line (L1) that passes through the points
(8,-3) and (3,3/4).
� There is another line (L2) with slope m=2/3 that
intersects L1 at the point (-4,6).
� A third line (L3) is parallel to L2 that passes
through the (7,-13 1/2).
� Yet another line (L4) is perpendicular to L3, and
passes through the point (1/2,5 2/3).
� The fifth line (L5) has the equation
2/5y-6/10x=24/5.
Using whatever method, find the following:
2. The point of intersection of L1 and L3
3. The point of intersection of L1 and L4
4. The point of intersection of L1 and L5
5. The point of intersection of L2 and L3
6. The point of intersection of L2 and L4
7. The point of intersection of L2 and L5
8. The point of intersection of L3 and L4
9. The point of intersection of L3 and L5
10. The point of intersection of L4 and L5
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING FORMULAE FOR EQUATION OF A
STRAIGHT LINE:
slope(m)and intercept(c) form...y=mx+c
point (x1,y1) and slope (m) form...y-y1=m(x-x1)
two point (x1,y1)and(x2,y2)form.....................
y-y1=((y2-y1)/(x2-x1))*(x-x1)
standard linear form..ax+by+c=0..here by transforming
we get by=-ax-c..or y=(-a/b)x+(-c/b)..comparing with
slope intercept form we get ...slope = -a/b and
intercept = -c/b
*****************************************************
line (L1) that passes through the points (8,-3) and
(3,3/4).
eqn.of L1..y-(-3)=((3/4+3)/(3-8))*(x-8)
y+3=((15/4(-5)))(x-8)=(-3/4)(x-8)
or multiplying with 4 throughout
4y+12=-3x+24
3x+4y+12-24=0
3x+4y-12=0.........L1
There is another line (L2) with slope m=2/3 that
intersects L1 at the point (-4,6).
This means (-4,6)lies on both L1 and L2.(you can check
the eqn.of L1 we got by substituting this point in
equation of L1 and see whether it is satisfied).So
eqn.of L2...
y-6=(2/3)(x+4)..multiplying with 3 throughout..
3y-18=2x+8
-2x+3y-26=0.........L2
A third line (L3) is parallel to L2 that passes
through the (7,-13 1/2).
lines are parallel mean their slopes are same . so we
keep coefficients of x and y same for both parallel
lines and change the constant term only..
eqn.of L2 from above is ...-2x+3y-26=0.........L2
hence L3,its parallel will be ...-2x+3y+k=0..now it
passes through (7,-13 1/2)=(7,-13.5)......substituting
in L3..we get k
-2*7+3*(-13.5)+k=0...or k=14+40.5=54.5..hence eqn.of
L3 is........-2x+3y+54.5=0......................L3
Yet another line (L4) is perpendicular to L3, and
passes through the point (1/2,5 2/3).
lines are perpendicular when the product of their
slopes is equal to -1..so ,we interchange coefficients
of x and y from the first line and insert a negative
sign to one of them and then change the constant term.
L3 is........-2x+3y+54.5=0......................L3
hence L4,its perpendicular will be ..3x+2y+p=0...L4
this passes through (1/2,5 2/3)=(1/2,17/3).hence..
3*1/2+2*17/3+p=0..or ..p= -77/6.so eqn.of L4 is
3x+2y-77/6=0..............L4
The fifth line (L5) has the equation 2/5y-6/10x=24/5.
now to find a point of intersection means to find a
point say P(x,y) which lies on both the lines ..that
is, it satisfies both the equations..so we have to
simply solve the 2 equations of the 2 lines for x and
y to get their point of intersection.For example to
find the point of intersection of L1 and L3 we have to
solve for x and y the 2 equations....
3x+4y-12=0.........L1....(1) and
-2x+3y+40.5=0......L3.....(2)

difficulty ,please ask me.
