On solving the equations x-7 y+5=0and   3 x+y=0 by using point of 

intersection formula, we get

x=\frac{-5}{22} \: and\: y=\frac{15}{22}

So, given lines intersect at \left(\frac{-5}{22}, \frac{15}{22}\right)

Let the equation of the required line be

x=\lambda......(i)

because the equation of a line parallel to y-axis is x = constant.

Since, equation (i) passes through \left(\frac{-5}{22}, \frac{15}{22}\right)

\lambda=\frac{-5}{22}

Substituting the value of \lambda in equation (i), we get

x=\frac{-5}{22}\: or \: 22 x+5=0

as the equation of the required line.
