The video tutorial explores the problem of finding the intersection of three lines in R2. Initially, the lines are graphed to provide a visual understanding. It is determined that the system is overdetermined, meaning no single intersection point exists. The tutorial then introduces the least squares solution method to find the closest possible solution. Through matrix operations, the least squares solution is calculated and visualized, demonstrating how it minimizes the distance between the solution and the original equations.

What is the slope-intercept form of the line 2x - y = 2?

• y = 2x - 2

• y = -x - 2

• y = x + 2

• y = -2x + 2
