i did this 2 years ago, so im trying to think of a way to solve it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok thank you

do you just need the equations of both lines or to solve the systems?
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
@thedomination100

it says this
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
ok i got the equations of the lines, do you think you can take it from there?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

so the equation of line 1 is: y=-3x+6
equation of line 2 is y=3x-1
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
so then, from there you just use the elimination method
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i still dont get it
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
x=2, y=5
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
do you want me to explain how got it?

yes please
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
ok, so you find the slope of the first line, then you insert that value into the slope intercept form
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
so for the first one \[\frac{ -3-9 }{ 3-(-1) } = \frac{ -12 }{ 4}=-3\]
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
so -3 is your slope for the first line
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
then you use \[y=mx+b\] and insert a point and the slope

do you get it so far?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes thank you
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
so then your equation would be \[9=-3(-1)+b\] and you solve for b
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
so then the slope intercept equation for the first line would be y=-3x+6
OpenStudy (pounce0129):
and you do the same thing or the other line
