How to find the intersection point of two linear equations

The video tutorial explains how to find the intersection of two equations by setting them equal to each other. It covers solving for Y, using the distributive property to find X, and calculating the Y value when X is known. The lesson is briefly interrupted but continues with a focus on solving mathematical equations to find intersection points.

What is the primary goal when finding the intersection of two equations?

• To find when the X values are different

• To find when the Y values are different

• To find when the X and Y values are the same

• To find when the equations are parallel

What is the first step in solving for the intersection of two lines?

• Add the equations together

• Solve for Y in one of the equations

• Multiply the equations

• Find the midpoint of the lines

After finding the X value where two lines intersect, what should you do next?

• Ignore the X value

• Find the Y value by substituting X back into the equations

• Divide the X value by 2

• Multiply the X value by 2

What is the result when you substitute the X value back into the original equations?

• You find the midpoint of the lines

• You find the distance between the lines

• You find the Y value at the intersection

• You find the slope of the lines

What is the final step in finding the intersection of two points?

• Find the midpoint of the intersection

• Calculate the distance between the points

• Verify the Y values are the same for both equations

• Check if the lines are parallel
