The correct Answer is:
To find the point of intersection of the lines given by the equations \( x - 4y = 3 \) and \( 6x - y = 11 \), we will use the elimination method. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Write down the equations We have the two equations: 1. \( x - 4y = 3 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 6x - y = 11 \) (Equation 2) ### Step 2: Rearrange Equation 1 We can rearrange Equation 1 to express \( x \) in terms of \( y \): \[ x = 4y + 3 \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( x \) in Equation 2 Now, substitute \( x \) from Equation 1 into Equation 2: \[ 6(4y + 3) - y = 11 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Expanding the left side: \[ 24y + 18 - y = 11 \] Combine like terms: \[ 23y + 18 = 11 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( y \) Now, isolate \( y \): \[ 23y = 11 - 18 \] \[ 23y = -7 \] \[ y = -\frac{7}{23} \] ### Step 6: Substitute \( y \) back to find \( x \) Now that we have \( y \), substitute it back into the rearranged Equation 1 to find \( x \): \[ x = 4\left(-\frac{7}{23}\right) + 3 \] \[ x = -\frac{28}{23} + 3 \] Convert 3 to a fraction: \[ x = -\frac{28}{23} + \frac{69}{23} \] Combine the fractions: \[ x = \frac{69 - 28}{23} \] \[ x = \frac{41}{23} \] ### Step 7: Write the point of intersection The point of intersection of the two lines is: \[ \left( \frac{41}{23}, -\frac{7}{23} \right) \] ### Final Answer The point of intersection is \( \left( \frac{41}{23}, -\frac{7}{23} \right) \). ---
