If the equations are in y= form, set the two equations equal to each other. Then solve for x. The x value that you get is the x coordinate of the intersection point. To find the y coordinate of the intersection point, plug the x you just got into either equation and simplify so that y= some number.
There are other methods of solving a system of equations: matrices, substitution, elimination, and graphing, but the above method is my favorite!

Two lines intersect in a?
Two lines intersect at a point
Do two lines always intersect at one point?
If two different lines intersect, they will always intersect at one point.
What are lines that intersect at the same point?
yes two lines intersect to form a point two planes intersect to form a line
Is it that if two different circles intersect then they intersect at one and only one point?
If two circles intersect then they have to intersect at two points.
A location the place where two lines cross or intersect?
Two lines cross or intersect at a point.
When two or more lines intersect at a point they are said to be?
Theorem: If two lines intersect, then exactly one plane contains both lines. So, when two or more lines intersect at one point, they lie exactly in the same plane. When two or more lines intersect at one point, their point of intersection satisfies all equations of those lines. In other words, the equations of these lines have the same solution, which is the point of intersection.
How to measure the point at which two tangents intersect each other?
To measure the point at which two tangents intersect each other, find an equation for each tangent line and compute the intersection. The tangent is the slope of a curve at a point. Knowing that slope and the coordinates of that point, you can determine the equation of the tangent line using one of the forms of a line such as point-slope, point-point, point-intercept, etc. Do the same for the other tangent. Solve the two equations as a system of two equations in two unknowns and you will have the point of intersection.
What are two equations for two lines that will intersect all the time?
They are simultaneous equations.
Can a system of linear equation have more than one solutions?
No. A linear equation represents a straight line and the solution to a set of linear equations is where the lines intersect; two straight lines can only intersect at most at a single point - two straight lines may be parallel in which case they will not intersect and there will be no solution. With more than two linear equations, it may be that they do not all intersect at the same point, in which case there is no solution that satisfies all the equations together, but different solutions may exist for different subsets of the lines.
Two lines intersect in a?
Two lines intersect at a point
What is a solution to a system of equations graphically?
Graphically, it is the point of intersection where the lines (in a linear system) intersect. If you have 2 equations and two unknowns, then you have a 2 lines in a plane. The (x,y) coordinates of the point where the 2 lines intersect represent the values which satisfies both equations. If there are 3 equations and 3 unknowns, then you have lines in 3 dimensional space. If all 3 lines intersect at a point then there is a solution to the system. With more than 3 variables, it is difficult to visualize more dimensions, though.
Why cant a system of linear equations cannot have exactly two solutions?
Because linear lines can't intersect in two seperate places. They either intersect at one specific coordinate, or the lines are on top of each other and they intersect at every point.
How many solutions can two lines have that intersect once?
Since the lines that intersect are the equations, if they intersect once they have one solution.
Do equations with different slopes and different y-intercepts have a solution?
TWO linear equations with different slopes intersect in one point, regardlessof their y-intercepts. That point is the solution of the pair.However, this does not mean that three (or more) equations in two variables, even if they meet the above conditions, have a solution.
What system of equations has no solution?
A system of equations will have no solutions if the line they represent are parallel. Remember that the solution of a system of equations is physically represented by the intersection point of the two lines. If the lines don't intersect (parallel) then there can be no solution.
How do you find where two lines intersect based on an equation?
when the x and y values of both equations are equal, because the point of intersection will only have one x value and one y value
Do two lines always intersect at one point?
If two different lines intersect, they will always intersect at one point.
