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!

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.


Two lines intersect in a?

Two lines intersect at a point


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


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.


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


When two lines intersect do they intersect in different ponts?

No, two straight lines can intersect at only one point and that is their point of intersection.


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.


How many solutions does 2x plus y equals 5 and 2x plus y equals 4 have?

None. When these two equations are graphed, the two lines are parallel. Since they never intersect, there is no point that satisfies both equations.


How can you use a graph to solve systems of equations?

You can use a graph to solve systems of equations by plotting the two equations to see where they intersect
