The equation of line through the point of intersection of the given lines is of the form x – 7y + 5 + k(3x + y – 7) = 0 

∴ (1 + 3k)x + (k -7)y + 5 – 7k = 0 (1)

Since the lines are parallel to y-axis, coefficient of y = 0 

i.e., k – 7 =0 

∴ k = 7 substitute in (1) we get 22x – 44 = 0 

∴ x – 2 = 0 is required equation
