The document discusses different methods for finding the point of intersection between two lines, including:
1) Using simultaneous equations by setting the two line equations equal to each other and solving.
2) Using substitution by replacing the y-value in one equation with the expression for y in the other equation.
3) Using the "y=y" tactic by setting the y-expressions in the two equations equal to each other and solving for x and y.
4. Lines usually written:
y = 5x + 1
y = 3x + 7
Could still use elimination!
→ y – 5x = 1
→ y – 3x = 7
5. Lines usually written:
y = 5x + 1
y = 3x + 7
So 5x + 1
2x + 1 = 7
2x = 6
x = 3
Point of intersection (3 , 16)
Must
be the
same
y = 5(3) +1 = 16
Known as
y=y tactic= 3x + 7
£y £y
6. Using y = y
Find the points of intersection, for these
pairs of lines:
1. y = 5x – 3 and y = 2x + 12
2. y = 7x + 8 and y = x +20
3. y = -2x + 8 and y = 2x + 12
4. y = 5x + 3 and y = 24 – 2x

• How to find where straight lines meet
(point of intersection)
14. Using Substitution
Find intersections of these lines:
1. x = 8 and
2y + 4x = 42 (8 , 5)
2. y = 8 and
3y = 2x + 4 (10 , 8)
3. y = 2x and
2y + 3x = 28
15. Using Substitution
Find intersections of these lines:
1. x = 8 and
2y + 4x = 42 (8 , 5)
2. y = 8 and
3y = 2x + 4 (10 , 8)
3. y = 2x and
2y + 3x = 28 (4 , 8)
