Intercept form of a straight line -

\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1

 

- wherein

a and b are the x-intercept and y -intercept respectively.

 

Set of all line is px+qy+r=0

and given that 3p+2q+4r=0......

\Rightarrow \frac{3}{4}p+\frac{2}{4}q+r=0

compare with set of all line equation

x=\frac{3}{4},\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: y=\frac{1}{2}

Hence, All line pass through a fixed point 

\left ( \frac{3}{4},\frac{1}{2} \right )


Option 1)

The lines concurrent at the point \left(\frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{2} \right )

Option 2)

Each line passes through the origin.

Option 3)

The lines are all parallel

Option 4)

The lines are not concurrent.
