What are the coordinates for the point where
\n" ); document.write( "the line whose equation is 2x+y=11 crosses
\n" ); document.write( "the line whose equation is y=x-1
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "We find some points on each line:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2x+y=11      y=x-1\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "  x|y         x|y   \r\n" );
document.write( "  0|11        0|-1\r\n" );
document.write( "  1|9         1|0\r\n" );
document.write( "  5|1         5|4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We plot the points and draw a line through them, and\r\n" );
document.write( "we look to see what point they cross at:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "If we draw a green line from the point where they cross\r\n" );
document.write( "down to the x-axis, and draw a red line from it over to\r\n" );
document.write( "the y-axis, we see that it touches the x-axis at x=4\r\n" );
document.write( "and the y-axis at y=3.  Those are the answers for the\r\n" );
document.write( "first problem.\r\n" );
