Detailed Solution

Given that vertex is 4,3 and the directrix is 3x+2y-7=0

The latus rectum is a line parallel to the directrix, and it is in the form of 3x+2y+k=0

The midway between the directrix and latursrectum is passing through the vertex

hence, 3x+2y+k-72=0 passes through the point 4,3

Hence, 

    12+6+k-72=0k-72=-18k=-29

Therefore, the equation of the latusrectum is 3x+2y-29=0
