The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of a line that passes through the intersection of the lines \(2x + y - 1 = 0\) and \(x - 3y + 1 = 0\) and is parallel to the x-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the intersection of the two lines We have two equations: 1. \(2x + y - 1 = 0\) (Equation 1) 2. \(x - 3y + 1 = 0\) (Equation 2) From Equation 1, we can express \(y\) in terms of \(x\): \[ y = 1 - 2x \] ### Step 2: Substitute \(y\) into the second equation Now, substitute \(y = 1 - 2x\) into Equation 2: \[ x - 3(1 - 2x) + 1 = 0 \] Expanding this gives: \[ x - 3 + 6x + 1 = 0 \] Combining like terms: \[ 7x - 2 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \(x\) Now, solve for \(x\): \[ 7x = 2 \implies x = \frac{2}{7} \] ### Step 4: Find the corresponding \(y\) value Substituting \(x = \frac{2}{7}\) back into the equation for \(y\): \[ y = 1 - 2\left(\frac{2}{7}\right) = 1 - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{3}{7} \] ### Step 5: Write the coordinates of the intersection point The intersection point of the two lines is: \[ \left(\frac{2}{7}, \frac{3}{7}\right) \] ### Step 6: Determine the equation of the line parallel to the x-axis A line that is parallel to the x-axis has a constant \(y\) value. Since our intersection point has a \(y\) value of \(\frac{3}{7}\), the equation of the line is: \[ y = \frac{3}{7} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the equation of the line that passes through the intersection of the two lines and is parallel to the x-axis is: \[ \boxed{y = \frac{3}{7}} \]
