Detailed Solution

Given equations of lines can be written as 

4x+3y12=0 and 3x+4y12=0

Equation of line passing through the intersection of
these two lines is given by

(4x+3y12)+λ(3x+4y12)=0x(4+3λ)+y(3+4λ)12(1+λ)=0

Above line meets the coordinate axes at points A and B .

Now, coordinates of point A are 12(1+λ)4+3λ,0 and 

coordinates of point B are 0,12(1+λ)3+4λ

 Coordinates of mid-point of AB are given by

h=6(1+λ)4+3λ     …(i),                       k=6(1+λ)3+4λ               …(ii)

Eliminating λ  from (i) and (ii), we get 6(h+k)=7hk

 Locus of the mid-point of AB is 6(x+y)=7xy
