QuestionFind the intersection point of lines and . Choose from: A B C D I .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The lines and intersect at point
STEP 2
The point of intersection of two lines is the solution to the system of equations formed by the two lines. So, we need to solve the system of equations
STEP 3
To find the x-coordinate of the point of intersection, we set the two equations equal to each other and solve for .
STEP 4
To solve this equation, we first get rid of the fractions by multiplying every term by2.
STEP 5
Next, we add to both sides of the equation to get all terms on one side.
STEP 6
implify the left side of the equation.
STEP 7
Subtract24 from both sides of the equation to isolate .
STEP 8
implify the right side of the equation.
STEP 9
Divide both sides of the equation by3 to solve for .
STEP 10
implify the right side of the equation to find the x-coordinate of the point of intersection.
STEP 11
Now that we have the x-coordinate, we can find the y-coordinate by substituting into either of the original equations. Let's use the first equation .
STEP 12
implify the right side of the equation to find the y-coordinate of the point of intersection.
So, the point of intersection of the two lines is . Looking at the options, we see that this corresponds to option C .
