The correct answer is: 5x-2y-7=0

All lines of the family 5x+3y-2=0 and 3x-y-4=0 are concurrent.

The point of concurrency is 1,-1
Similarly, the point of concurrency of lines of  the other family is 3,4
The line of both families is the line passing through 1,-1 & 3,4
 Equation of the required line is 5x-2y-7=0
