Hi
Question States:
 lineR:   x + 2y - 1 = 0  0r  y = -x/2 + 1/2  (1,0) the x-intercept (x/2 = 1/2)
 lineB:  B passes through the point(3,3) and (1,0) (shared with lineR)
(3,3) and 
(1,0)   m = 3/2
    (y-0) = 3/2(x-1)
       y = (3/2)x -  3/2      The Equation for lineB
0r 2y- 3x = -3


Wish You the Best in your Studies.

Line R
....in slope intercept form will be


line B
......given that line B
have the same x-intercept as line R
so find x-intercept
..........set




so the x-intercept is at the point(,)
since also given that line B passes through the point(,), we will use these two points to find a slope



so far equation of the line B is
...........use one point to calculate





equation of the line B is
