Given,
The straight lines
and
pass through the origin and trisect the line segment of the line L : 9x + 5y = 45 between the axes,
And m l and m 2 are the slopes of the lines
and
,
Now on plotting the diagram we get,

Given equation of line, L : 9x + 5y = 45

Now using the section formula between point A(5,0) & -B(0,9) we get the value of point C & D
and 
Now finding the slope m 1 & m 2 we get,

So, equation of line y =(m 1 + m 2 )x will be,

So, intersection point with L will be,
7y = 45 
Hence, y- x =
