Answer:

(-0.5,2.5)

Explanation:

The given equations are ,


\implies x + y - 2 = 0


\implies 3x - y +4 = 0

The point of intersection will be the solution of the given system of equations. Adding both , y will get cancelled . So that ,


\implies 4x +2 = 0

Now solve for x , we have ,


\implies 4x = -2 \\\\\implies x =(-2)/(4)\\\\\implies x = -0.5

Now put this value in any equation and solve out for y , we have ,


\implies -0.5 + y - 2 = 0 \\\\\implies y = 2.5

Therefore , the point of intersection will be ,


\implies\underline{\underline{ Point = (-0.5,2.5 ) }}
