(N/A) For a pair of linear equations $a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0$ and $a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0$ to represent intersecting lines,the condition is $\frac{a_1}{a_2} \neq \frac{b_1}{b_2}$.
Given the equation $2x + 3y - 8 = 0$,we have $a_1 = 2$ and $b_1 = 3$.
We need to choose $a_2$ and $b_2$ such that $\frac{2}{a_2} \neq \frac{3}{b_2}$.
If we choose $a_2 = 3$ and $b_2 = 2$,then $\frac{2}{3} \neq \frac{3}{2}$,which satisfies the condition.
Thus,one such equation is $3x + 2y - 5 = 0$ (or any other equation satisfying the condition).
