Question

A line passes through the points

(1,2) and (5,3)
. Another line passes through the points (5,3)and
(0,0)
. Will the two lines intersect? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes these two lines intersect with each other.

Explanation:

• Intersection is the meeting point of any lines at a common co ordinate.
• The first line has the co ordinates of (1,2) and (5,3).

• Similarly second line also has the co ordinate (5,3) and passes through origin.

• Since both the lines has one point in common, that means that two lines intersect with each other at point (5,3).
