Type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words. if necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s). line a passes through points (-1, 5) and (3, -1). line b passes through points (7, 2) and (6, -1). at what point does line a intersect line b?

Line A
slope = (-1 - 5)/(3+1) = -6/4 = -3/2
y = mx + b
5 = -3/2(-1) + b
b = 5 - 3/2
b = 7/2
equation of line A: y  = -3/2x + 7/2

Line B
slope = (-1 - 2)/(6-7) = -3/-1 = 3
y = mx + b
2 = 3(7) + b
b = 2- 21
b = - 19
equation of line B: y  = 3x -19

line A intersect line B when -3/2x + 7/2 =  3x -19
so
-3/2x + 7/2 =  3x -19
3x + 3/2x = 19 + 7/2
9/2x = 45/2
     x = (45/2) * (2/9)
     x = 5

     y  = 3x - 19 = 3(5) -19 = 15 -19 = -4

    (5 , -4)

answer
line A intersect line B at (5, -4)
