As we learnt in 

Line parallel to the y-axis -

x= b

- wherein

The line passes through the point (b,o).

 

 Point of intersection of the lines

\left ax+2by+3b=0 \right ]\times b

\left bx-2ay-3a=0 \right ]\times a

2\left ( b^{2}+a^{2} \right )y=-3\left ( b^{2}+a^{2} \right )

y=\frac{-3}{2}

ax+2b\times \frac{-3}{2}+3b=0

=> x=0

Point of intersection is \left ( 0,\frac{-3}{2} \right )

line parallel to x- axis is below at a distance  \frac{3}{2}\: from\: it.

i.e. y=\frac{-3}{2}


Option 1)

below the x- axis at a distance of 2/3 from it
