At the point of intersecting lines, the points are equal.

Watch this:

The equation of the 1st line is Y=3x-7

The equation of the 2nd line is Y=-2x+3

Remember, at the intersecting points they are equal. So then:

3x-7=-2x+3 Now solve for x (get x by itself in the form of x=whatever)

3x-7=-2x+3

+2x +2x (What you do to one side of the equal sign you must do to the other)

____________

5x -7 = 3

+7 = +7

____________

5x = 10 now divide by 5 to remove the 5 from the x in 5x.

___ ___

5 5

x=2

Then you sub x=2 into any of the two equation. Lets use the first one:

Y=3x-7 becomes Y=3(2)-7

Y=6-7

Y=-1

So the intersecting point is (2,-1)

How do you find intersection points on TI84 calculator?

Graph the two lines or equations you want to find the intersection of. Then adjust the window so that you can see the intersection point. (If you don't know where it is, try pressing ZOOM and choosing ZoomFit.) Then press 2ND CALC (above TRACE) and choose option 5, intersect. Use the up and down arrows to select the first equation you want to find the intersection point on, and press ENTER. Do the same thing for the second equation. The calculator will now say "Guess?". Use the left and right arrows to move the x-like shape as close to the intersection point as possible, then press ENTER. The calculator will tell you the intersection point and the bottom of the screen. If you get a NO SIGN CHNG error, then it might be because the intersection point is not on the screen. Change the window so that you can see the intersection point and try again. Also, make sure that your guess is somewhat close to the intersection point.

Why is it more accurate to use the point of intersection of the two lines to find the mole ratio rather than the ratio associated with the trial with the greatest volume of precipitate?

There is a difference between where the two lines meet and where the greatest tempurature change is... think about it... the two lines do not meet where the greatest tempurature change is, the two lines meet where the greatest amount of heat is given off...

How to Derive the formula of distance between a point and a line?

You must first write an equation for the line through the point perpendicular to the line. Then, find the intersection between the two lines. Lastly, use this point and the distance formula to find the length of the perpendicular segment connecting the given point and the original line. That will lead to the following formula, d = |AX1+BY1- C|/(sqrt(A2+B2)), Where A, B and C represent the coefficients of the given line in standard form and (X1,Y1) is the given point.


Does an octagon have a center point?

Yes, an Octagon does have a center point. The easiest way for me to find this is by drawing lines between opposite vertexes. You should end up with four lines and they should be crossing at one point. That is your center point! :V


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.
