SOLUTION: 4. Determine the point of intersection. a) y=4x+6 and y=-x+1 b) 2x+5y=10 and x=10

Question 15086: 4. Determine the point of intersection.
a) y=4x+6 and y=-x+1
b) 2x+5y=10 and x=10

To determine the intersection point, we need to find the value that both equations have in common, that is, we need to first set the equations equal to each other and then solve for x, then use this value to find y.
(a)
4x+6 = x+1
4x+5 = x
3x = -5
x =
Now use this to find y
y= - + 1
y =
(b)
Part b is easier because we are given the value of x. We just need to find y.
x = 10 and 2x + 5y = 10.
2(10) + 5y = 10
20 + 5y = 10
5y = -10
y = -2.
