Verify if the lines are intercepting? x+y = 20 3x - 2y = 6

The lines x+y = 20 and 3x-2y= 6 must inersect as their
slopes are obviously looking different.


Slope of x+y = 20 
or y = 20-x (which is in y = mx+c , m is slope ) is
-1.


Slope of  of 3x-2y = 6 or -2y = -3x+6 ,  or y
=(3/2)x- 6/2 , is
3/2.


Intersection of the lines are the solution of the
equations:


x+y =
20..............(1)


3x-2y =
6..................(2)


Add 2*eq(1) and eq(2 ) . Then y gets
eliminated:


2x+3x = 2*20+6 =
46


5x=46


x = 46/5=
9.2.


Eq(3)*3 - Eq(2) eliminates
x:


3y- (-2y) = 3*20-6 = 56


5y
= 56


y = 54/5 = 10.4


Therefore
(x,y) = (9.2 , 10.4) are the coordinates of the point of intersection of the 2
lines.
