The two lines shown intersect at the point (a,b). Find ab. Each unit square in the grid represents a distance of 1
.
+36915 1) y = 1/3 x + 1
2) y = 2x-2 are the equations of the lines
Multiply 2) by -1 and add to 1) to get
x=9/5
sub in to either 1) or 2) to find y = 8/5
Multiply together to get 9/5 * 8/5 = 72/25
