Question

The line parallel to the x-axis and passing through the intersection of the lines ax + 2by + 3b = 0 and bx - 2ay - 3a = 0, where (a, b) ≠ (0, 0) is

Options

A.below the x-axis at a distance of from it
B.below the x-axis at a distance of from it
C.above the x-axis at a distance of from it
D.above the x-axis at a distance of from it

Solution

ax + 2by + 3b + λ(bx - 2ay - 3a) = 0
⇒   (a + bλ)x + (2b - 2aλ)y + 3b - 3λa = 0
a + bλ = 0 ⇒ λ = - a/b
⇒   ax + 2by + 3b - (bx - 2ay - 3a) = 0
⇒   ax + 2by + 3b - ax + = 0


so it is 3/2 units below x-axis.
