Question

I'm having trouble finding the intersecting points of y=-3/4x+7(passes through the point (0,1)) and y=4/3x+1. Could someone help me with this?

Answer 1

The intersection of these two lines is also called the solution of the system of equations. You could easily find the solution by making x/y charts for both equations, and whatever the identical point is in both charts is where they intersect.

Answer 2

these lines are perpendicular, btw. Did you know that?

Answer 3

The line y = -3/4x + 7 does not pass through the point (0,1).

Answer 4

You could graph these lines in the same plane to see where they intersect, as well. Your choice. I'll do both for you so you can see, ok?

Answer 5

Actually, the best way to find this solution is to solve them simultaneously. Use either the substitution method or the addition method.

Answer 6

\[-\frac{ 3 }{4 }x+7=\frac{ 4 }{3 }x+1\]Solve that for x.

Answer 7

When x = 2.88, y = 4.84 That is where they intersect.

Answer 8

Thank you for responding! It doesn't go through (0,1)? That's what is says on my homework question. If you need it, I can do a screen cap of it. I tried x = 2.88 and y = 4.84 and it said it was wrong.

Yes, I knew the lines were perpendicular.

Answer 9

I guess I'll close this, talking to my professor about this. He may have worded it weird or put in the answers wrong.
