The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the straight lines given by the equations: 1. \( 2x - 3y - 7 = 0 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 3x - 4y - 13 = 0 \) (Equation 2) we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equations We can keep the equations in their standard form for easier manipulation: - Equation 1: \( 2x - 3y = 7 \) - Equation 2: \( 3x - 4y = 13 \) ### Step 2: Eliminate one variable To eliminate one variable, we can multiply both equations by suitable numbers so that the coefficients of \( x \) in both equations become the same. Let's multiply Equation 1 by 3 and Equation 2 by 2: - \( 3(2x - 3y) = 3(7) \) → \( 6x - 9y = 21 \) (Equation 3) - \( 2(3x - 4y) = 2(13) \) → \( 6x - 8y = 26 \) (Equation 4) ### Step 3: Subtract the equations Now, we will subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3 to eliminate \( x \): \[ (6x - 9y) - (6x - 8y) = 21 - 26 \] This simplifies to: \[ -9y + 8y = -5 \] \[ -y = -5 \] \[ y = 5 \] ### Step 4: Substitute back to find \( x \) Now that we have \( y \), we can substitute this value back into either Equation 1 or Equation 2 to find \( x \). We will use Equation 1: \[ 2x - 3(5) = 7 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x - 15 = 7 \] Adding 15 to both sides gives: \[ 2x = 22 \] Dividing by 2: \[ x = 11 \] ### Step 5: Write the coordinates of intersection The coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines are: \[ (x, y) = (11, 5) \] ### Final Answer The coordinates of the point of intersection are \( (11, 5) \). ---
