    The straight lines l1l_{1} and l2l_{2} pass through the origin and trisect the line segment of the line L: 9x+5y=459x + 5y = 45 between the axes. If m1m_{1} and m2m_{2} are the slopes of the lines l1l_{1} and l2l_{2},then the point of intersection of the line y=(m1+m2)xy =\left( m_{1}+m_{2} \right)x with LL lies on
