Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) below \(x\)-axis at a distance \(\frac{3}{2}\) from it

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the line be \((a x+2 b y+3 b)+\lambda(b x-2 a y-3 a)=0\) \(\because\) It is parallel to \(x\)-axis. \(\therefore \frac{\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b} \lambda}{2 \mathrm{a} \lambda-2 \mathrm{~b}}=0 \Rightarrow \lambda=-\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{~b}}\) So, equation is…
