Question 636160: I have to determine the unique solution in a system of linear standard slope form y intercept, equations already given of a graphed perpendicular line or lines that cross each other. Help, I forgot how to simply find the unique coordinate.
(?# , ?#) I have screen shot if that will help you help me better

If your two equations are in slope intercept form:




then set the two RHSs equal to each other -- after all, we want to equal since we are looking for the point that satisfies both equations, right?







Then substitute back into either original equation:
