How to find intersection point of two lines

Topic:-Intersection Point

a point where lines intersect

point - a geometric element that has position but no extension; "a point is defined by its coordinates"

Let's see how to find this intersection point of two lines

Question:-

Find the intersection point of two lines

3x+2y=5 and x+4y=0


Answer:-


Let's say


3x+2y=5 ---------> 1

x+4y=0 ---------->2


Take the equation 2

x+4y=0

x= -4y----->3

Substitute this in equation 1

We get

3(-4y)+2y=5

-12y+2y=5

-10y=5

y= 5/-10

y= - ½

Substitute this in 3

x= -4(-½)

x= 2

So ,The intersection point is

(2,-½)


For more help on this ,you can reply me.
