Question

THE LINE V PASSES THROUGH THE POINTS(-5,3)&(7,-3)&THE LINE W PASSES THROUGH THE POINTS (2,-4)&(4,2).THE LINE V&W INTERSECT AT THE POINT A.WORK OUT THE COORDINATES OF THE POINT A

Answer 1

Please type your <u>subject</u> in the <b>School Subject</b> box. Any other words, <u>including obscure abbreviations</u>, are likely to delay responses from a teacher who knows that subject well.

Also -- when you type in all-caps, two things happen:
**it's harder to read, and
**it's the online equivalent to SHOUTING (considered rude behavior).

Please just type in regular mode, not with the Caps Lock feature turned on. Thanks.

Answer 2

Find equation of line V
(y-3)/(x+5)= (-6/12)
-6 x - 30 = 12 y - 36
12 y = -6 x + 6
6 y = -3 x + 3
Find equation of line W
(y+4)/(x-2) = 6/2 = 3
3 x - 6 = y + 4
y = 3 x - 10
Find intersection
6 y = -3 x + 3
1 y = +3 x - 10
--------------
7 y = -0 x - 7
y = -1
-7 = 3 x - 10
3 x = 3
x = 1
so
(1,-1)
