Question

Which point can be found using the vertical line x = –9 and the horizontal line y = 8?

Answer 1

ANSWER

The point is

`(-9,8).`

Step-by-step explanation
When two nonparallel lines are drawn on the same plane, they will intersect at a unique point. This point represents the solution to the two systems of equations represented by the lines.

The vertical line

`x = - 9`

and the horizontal line

`y = 8`

will intersect at

`(-9,8).`

This is the unique solution to the two equations.
