Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 39

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of line passing through the points \((3,0)\) and \(\left(1, \frac{4}{3}\right)\) is \[ \begin{array}{rlrl} y-0 & =\frac{\frac{4}{3}-0}{1-3}(x-3) \\ \Rightarrow & y =\frac{-2}{3}(x-3) \\ \Rightarrow & 3 y =-2 x+6 \\ \Rightarrow & 2 x+3 y =6 \end{array} \] Any line…
