\(\mathrm{L}_1 \equiv \mathrm{ax}-3 \mathrm{y}+5=0\) and \(\mathrm{L}_2 \equiv 4 \mathrm{x}-6 \mathrm{y}+8=0\) are two parallel lines. If \(\mathrm{p}, \mathrm{q}\) are the intercepts made by \(L_1=0\) and \(m, n\) are the intercepts made by \(L_2=0\) on the \(\mathrm{X}, \mathrm{Y}\) - coordinate axes respectively, then the equation of the line passing through the points \((p, q)\) and \((m, n)\) is

  1. A \(3 x+3 y+2=0\)
  2. B \(2 x+3 y=0\)
  3. C \(6 x+6 y+5=0\)
  4. D \(x+3 y=2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 x+3 y=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For parallel lines, \( \frac{\mathrm{a}}{4} = \frac{-3}{-6} \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=2 \) Intercepts for \( \mathrm{L}_1 \equiv 2\mathrm{x}-3 \mathrm{y}+5=0 \): \( \mathrm{p}=-\frac{5}{2} \), \( \mathrm{q}=\frac{5}{3} \) Intercepts for…
