Question

Line L1 is horizontal and passes through (-5,8). Line L2 is vertical and passes through (4,-1). Find the point of intersection of L1 and L2.

a) (-5, 4)
b) (-5, -1)
c) (4, 8)
d) (4, -1)

Answer 1

The point of intersection of line L1 and L2 is (4, 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the point of intersection of two lines, we need to determine their equations and solve them simultaneously.

Line L1 is horizontal and passes through (-5,8), so its equation is y = 8.

Line L2 is vertical and passes through (4,-1), so its equation is x = 4.

Since the x-coordinate of the point of intersection is 4 and the y-coordinate is 8, the correct answer is option c) (4, 8).
