Solution

Let the slope of the required line be m1.
The given line can be written as y=12x32, which is of the form y=mx+c
slope of the given line =m2=12
It is given that the angle between the required line and line x2y=3 is 45
We know that if θ is the acute angle between lines l1 and l2 with slopes m1 and m2 respectively, then tanθ=m2m11+m1m2
tan45=m2m11+m1m2
1=∣ ∣12m11+m12∣ ∣
1=∣ ∣(12m12)2+m12∣ ∣
1=±12m12+m1
m1=13orm1=3
case 1; m1=3
The equation of the line passing through (3,2) and having a slope of 3 is
y2=3(x3)3xy=7
case 2: m1=13
The equation of the line passing through (3,2) and having a slope of 13 is.
y2=13(x3)
3y6=x+3x+3y=9
