Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1 unit

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the two given lines be \(L_1: 2x - 3y + 14 = 0\) and \(L_2: 5x + 4y - 7 = 0\). To find the point of intersection, multiply \(L_1\) by 4 and \(L_2\) by 3: \(8x - 12y + 56 = 0\) \(15x + 12y - 21 = 0\) Adding these equations gives \(23x + 35 = 0\), so \(x = -\dfrac{35}{23}\).…
