Which of the following coordinate points is the point of intersection of these two lines? y - 6x = -4 y - 2x = 8 Question 4 options: (−1/2, 7) (12/8,11) (9/6,5) (3, 14)

Respuesta :

Option D: [tex](3,14)[/tex] is the point of intersection of the two lines.

Explanation:

The two equations are [tex]y-6 x=-4[/tex] and [tex]y-2 x=8[/tex]

We need to find the point of intersection of the two lines.

Thus, let us solve the equation by substitution method.

From the equation [tex]y-6 x=-4[/tex], we shall determine the value of y, by adding both sides of the equation by 6x.

Hence, we have, [tex]y=6x-4[/tex]

Now, substituting [tex]y=6x-4[/tex] in the equation [tex]y-2 x=8[/tex] , we get,

[tex]6x-4-2 x=8[/tex]

       [tex]4x-4=8[/tex]

             [tex]4x=12[/tex]

               [tex]x=3[/tex]

Substituting [tex]x=3[/tex] in the equation [tex]y-6 x=-4[/tex], we get,

[tex]y-2 (3)=8[/tex]

   [tex]y-6=8[/tex]

         [tex]y=14[/tex]

Thus, the point of intersection of the two lines is [tex](3,14)[/tex]

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
