Find the equation of the line through the intersection of x+y=4 and 2x-y=2 that is parallel to 3x-4y+1=0.

  1. 3 x - 4 y + 2 = 0
  2. 3 x - 4 y - 2 = 0
  3. 4 x + 3 y - 14 = 0
  4. 3 x - 4 y + 14 = 0

Answer

A. 3 x - 4 y + 2 = 0

Solution

Adding the two equations gives 3x=6, so the intersection is (2,2). A line parallel to 3x-4y+1=0 has the form 3x-4y+C=0; through (2,2): 6-8+C=0 C=2.
