Find the point of intersection of the two lines.
Solution:
Find the (x, y) coordinates of the point of intersection. The point is 1 unit to the right in the x-direction and 4 units down in the y-direction.
IDENTIFYING THE POINT OF INTERSECTION BETWEEN TWO LINES
Practice 1.
Find the point of intersection of the two lines.
Solution:
Find the (x, y) coordinates of the point of intersection. The point is 1 unit to the right in the x-direction and 4 units down in the y-direction.
Using Desmos
Practice 2.
Find the point of intersection of the two lines.
y = -2x - 2
y = 3x + 8
Solution:
1) Type into a Google search “Desmos Graphing Calculator” and select “Graphing Calculator – Desmos.”
2) Type the two equations into equations 1 and 2 on the left side.
3) On the graph, click the point where the lines intersect to show the coordinates of the point.
