Find the common point of intersection of this family of lines. Here it is (-2,0). Now, given point is (2,3). Equation of line passing through both the points is : 3x + 6 =4y. You actually only need the slope of this line which is : 3/4 Line perpendicular to this line passing through the common point will be at the greatest distance. Slope of the required line: -4/3Equation of the line :-4/3{x-(-2)} = y-0After solving, equation is : 4x + 3y + 8 =0.
