Ans.
First we need to find intersection of the lines, For that solve these equation for x and y
multiply equation (2) by 2, We get
Subtract (1) from (3), we get
Put value of y in (1), we get
Let the Equation of line in intercept form is
as x intecept is -4 and point satisfies this equation.
putting all Values, we get
=>
=>
=>
So the Equation of line ll be

Since the family of lines passing through the intersection of given lines is
(2x + 3y - 4) k(x - 5y + 7) = 0
This line meets x-axis i.e. y = 0, then
2x - 4 + k(x - 5y + 9) = 0
x = (4 - 7k)/(2 + k), which is the x-intercept.
Therefore, -4 = (4 - 7k)/(2 + k)
k = 4
Putting the value of k in the family equation
(2x + 3y - 4) + 4(x - 5y + 7) = 0
6x - 17y + 24 = 0, which is the required equation
