Best Answer

By solving simultaneous linear equations.

(If you don't know how to do this, it's a bit more complicated than can be detailed here, but basically you cast the equations for the two lines into the form

ax + by = z

and then see if there are any valid solutions to the equation a1x + b1y = a2x + b2y. If so, that's your answer. If not, the lines are skew and do not intersect.)

How do you verify that a triangle is isosceles?

The step to verify an isosceles triangle is: 1) Find the intersection points of the lines. 2) Find the distance for each intersection points. 3) If 2 of the distance are the same then it is an isosceles triangle.

What are vertexes in math and an example?

It is the Intersection of 2 or more lines. Such as in the letter V, the vertex is the point at the bottom when the 2 lines meet.


Point intersection and a point concurrency?

Point of intersection is where the point where 2 lines or a line and a plane meet, or in a 3-dimensional space three planes meet, or any other graphs that intersect in a point.Point of concurrency is the intersection point of concurrent lines.In geometry, two or more lines are said to be concurrent if they all pass through a single point.For example, the perpendiculars bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent and they meet at the point of concurrency.So point of intersection may be the same as point of concurrency, but when it comes to examples other than lines, point of intersection is often used. When it comes to just lines, either one is ok.

How many common points for intersection of four lines?

- If you're working on a single sheet of paper (2-D), then you can draw four lines that intersect in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 points. - If in 3-D space, then you can also draw four lines that don't intersect at all.


What is the 2 or more straight lines meet is called?

When 2 or more straight lines meet...the point where they meet is called the point of intersection
