Algebra.Com's Answer #651075 by Aldorozos(172)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! We have to get rid of t \n" ); document.write( "X=7+2t \n" ); document.write( "Y= 4+ t therefore t= y-4 \n" ); document.write( "Substituting t in the first equation we get x= 7+2(y-4) \n" ); document.write( "Therefore x= 2y-1\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we do the same with the second equation by eliminating s \n" ); document.write( "X= -3 +3(4-y) \n" ); document.write( "Therefore x=9-y\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now from the first equation we have x=2y-1 \n" ); document.write( "And from the second equation we have x=9-y \n" ); document.write( "Since both are equal to x therefore both sides have to be equal which means 2y-1= 9-y \n" ); document.write( "Solving this equation gives us y=10. If y=10 and x=9-y then x= -1 the point x=-1 and y=10 is the intersection. Since we find the point, this means the lines are not parallel and they intersect.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
