Consider the following two lines: Line A: passes through the points (2,5) and (7,11) Line B: passes through the points (0,0) and (7.9) Will the lines intersect? How do you know? *

Yes, the two lines will intersect as they have a common x-coordinate point

Here, we want to check if the two lines will intersect

By intersecting, it means the lines will cross each other at a particular point

Now, looking at the coordinates of the points, we see that there is an x-coordinate of 7 on both lines

What this mean is that at this coordinate of x, the two lines will surely intersect
