Problem

Lines in the $xy$-plane are drawn through the point $(3,4)$ and the trisection points of the line segment joining the points $(-4,5)$ and $(5,-1)$. One of these lines has the equation

$\text{(A) } 3x-2y-1=0\quad \text{(B) } 4x-5y+8=0\quad \text{(C) } 5x+2y-23=0\quad\\ \text{(D) } x+7y-31=0\quad \text{(E) } x-4y+13=0$

Solution

$\fbox{E}$
