 Consider the equations of two  intersecting straight lines   { ((ax+by+c=0)),((a_1 x+b_1 y+c_1 =0)) :}  Find the equation of straight line  passing through a given point  (x_0 ,y_0 ) and the intersection point  of the given straight lines.

Hello  is it a_1 x+b_1 y+c_1 =0  the second eq?
Helloisita1x+b1y+c1=0thesecondeq?

The straight line specified by the equation  λ(ax+by+c)+μ(a_1 x+b_1 y+c_1 )=0  passes through the point of intersection  of the given straight lines. We required that  it should pass also through (x_0 ,y_0 ).  Then the equation of desired straight line  will be (ax+by+c)(a_1 x_0 +b_1 y_0 +c)−(a_1 x+b_1 y+c_1 )(ax_0 +by_0 +c)= 0
