What is the intersection of y=7 and y=1\2x+6

y=7 is just a straight horizonal line that is perpendicular to the y axis at 7

and y=1/2x+6, is in y=mx+b form where m=slope and b=yintercept so

to find the intersection, yo just find when both sentances are correct so

y=7
subsitute that into y=1/2x+6

7=1/2x+6
subtract 6 from both sides
1=1/2x
multiply both sides by 2
2=x

so the point (2,7) is the intersection
