STEP 1

Assumptions1. The lines y=x+12y=x+12 and y=1x+3y=-\frac{1}{}x+\frac{3}{} intersect at point .Weneedtofindthecoordinatesofpoint . We need to find the coordinates of 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 equationsy=x+12y=12x+2\begin{aligned} y & =x+12 \\ y & =-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{}{2} \end{aligned}

STEP 3

To find the x-coordinate of the point of intersection, we set the two equations equal to each other and solve for xx.
x+12=12x+32x+12 = -\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}

STEP 4

To solve this equation, we first get rid of the fractions by multiplying every term by2.
2x+24=x+32x+24 = -x+3

STEP 5

Next, we add xx to both sides of the equation to get all xx terms on one side.
2x+x+24=32x+x+24 =3

STEP 6

implify the left side of the equation.
3x+24=33x+24 =3

STEP 7

Subtract24 from both sides of the equation to isolate 3x3x.
3x=3243x =3 -24

STEP 8

implify the right side of the equation.
3x=213x = -21

STEP 9

Divide both sides of the equation by3 to solve for xx.
x=21/3x = -21 /3

STEP 10

implify the right side of the equation to find the x-coordinate of the point of intersection.
x=7x = -7

STEP 11

Now that we have the x-coordinate, we can find the y-coordinate by substituting x=7x = -7 into either of the original equations. Let's use the first equation y=x+y = x+.
y=7+y = -7 +

STEP 12

implify the right side of the equation to find the y-coordinate of the point of intersection.
y=5y =5So, the point of intersection of the two lines is (7,5)(-7,5). Looking at the options, we see that this corresponds to option C (7,5)(-7,5).
