Detailed Solution

The line (2x3y+4)+k(x2y+3)=0,kR

passes through the intersection of line

and 2x3y+4=0x2y+3=0   (A)

for different values of k.

Lines given by (A) meet at (1, 2)

Let image of A(2, 3) in the family of lines be B(α,β).

Thus (1, 2) is a fixed point for given family of lines, we 

have AP=BP(α1)2+(β1)2=2

The locus generalises to (x1)2+(y1)2=2

Thus it is a circle of radius 2.
