You have two simultaneous equations; solve them:

  1. 2x - 3y + 5 = 0→ 2x - 3y = -5
  2. 4x + 5y - 1 = 0 → 4x + 5y = 1

As in the second equation the x coefficient is twice that in the first equation, subtract twice the first equation from the second and solve for y; {2}-2×{1}:

(4x - 2×2x) + (5y - 2×-3y) = 1 - 2×-5

→ (4x - 4x) + (5y - -6y) = 1 - -10

→ 5y + 6y = 1 + 10

→ 11y = 11

→ y = 1

Now substitute back into one of the equations (say {2}):

4x + 5y = 1

→ 4x + 5×1 = 1

→ 4x = 1 - 5 = -4

→ x = -1

Now substitute the values for x and y back into the other equation ({1}) as a check:

2x - 3y = 2×-1 - 3×1 = -2 - 3 = -5 as required.

Thus the lines intersect at the point (-1, 1).

What is formed by the intersection of a line and a plane if the line does not lie in the plane?

When a line intersects a plane and does not lie in the plane, the intersection forms a single point. This point is where the line crosses the plane. If the line is parallel to the plane, however, there will be no intersection point.
