First find the point of intersection.
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations together.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By%2B5%2Bx-y%2B3=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B8=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=-8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for \"y\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4%2By%2B5=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B1=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "(-4,-1)
\n" ); document.write( "Now find the equation of the line that goes through (3,0) and (-4,-1).
\n" ); document.write( "First find the slope.
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-1-0%29%2F%28-4-3%29=-1%2F-7=1%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now use the point slope form of the line.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-0=%281%2F7%29%28x-3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%281%2F7%29x-3%2F7\"
