Solution :<\/h2>\n

Let the equation of line be \\(x\\over a\\) + \\(y\\over b\\) = 1\u00a0 …..(i)<\/p>\n

This line passes through (3,4), therefore \\(3\\over a\\) + \\(4\\over b\\) = 1\u00a0 …….(ii)<\/p>\n

It is given that a + b = 14\u00a0 \\(\\implies\\)\u00a0 b = 14 – a in (ii), we get<\/p>\n

\\(3\\over a\\) + \\(4\\over 14 – a\\) = 1\u00a0 \\(\\implies\\)\u00a0 \\(a^2\\) – 13a + 42 = 0<\/p>\n

\\(\\implies\\)\u00a0 (a – 7)(a – 6) = 0\u00a0 \\(\\implies\\)\u00a0 a = 7, 6<\/p>\n

for a = 7, b = 14 – 7 = 7 and for a = 6, b = 14 – 6 = 8<\/p>\n

Putting the values of a and b in (i), we get the equations of lines<\/p>\n

\\(x\\over 7\\) + \\(y\\over 7\\) = 1\u00a0 and\u00a0 \\(x\\over 6\\) + \\(y\\over 8\\) = 1<\/p>\n
