Question

The lines 2x - 3y = 1 and 2x + 3y = 2 are intersecting.

Answer 1

True or false?

Answer 2

have you tried setting up a system of equations and trying to solve it. They will intersect when they have the same x and y values.

Answer 3

I don't even know where to start and how to do that.

Answer 4

2x-3y=1
+ 2x+3y=2
-----------
4x =3
x=3/4

Answer 5

then substitute 3/4 for x in any of the 2 equations and solve for y, if you get a real value then they intersect at those x and y values, if not then they don't intersect.

Answer 6

Ohh okay! Got it! Thanks!

Answer 7

sure
