The line parallel to xx-axis and passing through the point of intersection of lines ax+2by+3b=0a x+2 b y+3 b=0 and bx−2ay−3a=0b x-2 a y-3 a=0, where (a,b)≠(0,0)(a, b) \neq(0,0) is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
below xx-axis at a distance 3/23 / 2 from it
The correct answer is C (below x-axis at a distance 3/2) because substituting x=0 into the equations and solving for y gives y = -3/2, indicating the line is below the x-axis.
