The equation of the line passing through origin and parallel to the line 3x + 4y + 7 = 0 is:

  1. 3x + 4y + 5 = 0

  2. 4x - 3y - 5 = 0

  3. 4x - 3y = 0

  4. 3x + 4y = 0

Answer

Given,

⇒ 3x + 4y + 7 = 0

⇒ 4y = -3x - 7

⇒ y = 34x74-\dfrac{3}{4}x - \dfrac{7}{4}

Comparing above equation with y = mx + c, we get :

m = 34-\dfrac{3}{4}.

By point-slope formula,

Equation of line : y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Thus, equation of line parallel to 3x + 4y + 7 = 0 and passing through origin (0, 0) is :

⇒ y - 0 = 34-\dfrac{3}{4} (x - 0)

⇒ y = 3x4-\dfrac{3x}{4}

⇒ 4y = -3x

⇒ 4y + 3x = 0.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
