Slope  of S  =  ( 6 - 1)  / ( 2 - -3) =  5 / 5   =1

Equation of S

y = (x - 2) + 6

y = x +  4

 

Slope  of  T   =  ( 7 - 3)  /( -2 - 0) =   4 / -2  = -2

Equation of  T

y = -2 x +  3

 

x  intersection of S  and  T

 

x +  4 =   -2x  + 3

2x + x  =   3  -  4

3x  = -1

x  = -1/3

 

y intersection of S and T

y = (-1/3) + 4  =   -1/3  + 12/3  =    11/3

 

Intersection pt   = (-1/3  ,11/3)
