SOLUTION: The solutions of line m are (3, 3), (5, 5), (15, 15), (34, 34), (678, 678), and (1234, 1234). The solutions of line n are (3, -3), (5, -5), (15, -15), (34, -34), (678, -678), and

Question 83635: The solutions of line m are (3, 3), (5, 5), (15, 15), (34, 34), (678, 678), and (1234, 1234).
The solutions of line n are (3, -3), (5, -5), (15, -15), (34, -34), (678, -678), and (1234, -1234).
Form the equations of both the lines.
What are the co-ordinates of the point of intersection of lines m and n?
Write the co-ordinates of the intersections of lines m and n with the x-axis.
Write the co-ordinates of the intersection of lines m and n with the y-axis.

first equation: slope=(5-3)/(5-3)=2/2=1.
3=1*3+b, 3=3+b, b=3-3, b=0.
thus we have the line equation y=x (red line-m) (intersect=0,0)
second equation:slope=(-3-3)/(5-3)=-6/2=-3.
-3=-3*3+b, -3=-9+b. -3+9=b. b=6.
thus we have the line equation y=-3x+6 (green line-n) (intersect=2,6)
(graph 300x300 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, of TWO functions y = x and y = -3x +6).
y=x now substitute in the second equation
x=-3x+6
x+3x=6
4x=6
x=6/4
x=3/2 answer.
y=3/2 answer.
