Q:

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION what is the equation of a line that joins the point of intersection of 5x-2y+3=0 and 4x-3y+1=0 to the point of intersection of x=y and x=3y+4?​

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:  y = xStep-by-step explanation:First, find the point where 5x - 2y + 3 and 4x - 3y + 1 intersect using the Elimination Method.5x - 2y + 3 = 0  →  3(5x - 2y + 3 = 0)  →  15x - 6y + 9 = 04x - 3y + 1 = 0   → -2(4x - 3y + 1 = 0)  →   -8x + 6y - 2 = 0                                                                  7x         + 7 = 0                                                                  7x               = -7                                                                    x               = -15x - 2y + 3 = 05(-1) - 2y + 3 = 0-5 - 2y + 3 = 0     -2y  - 2 = 0     -2y        = 2         y        = -1(-1, -1)Next, find the point where x = y and x = 3y + 4 intersect using the Substitution Method.x = yx = 3y + 4    →    y = 3y + 4                       -2y = 4                          y = -2x = yx = -2(-2, -2)Now, find the line that passes through (-1, -1) and (-2, -2) using the Point-Slope formula.  (x₁, y₁) = (-1, -1)  and m = 1y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)y + 1 = 1(x + 1)     y = x
