Find the equation of the line that passes through (–3, 2) and the intersection of the lines x–2y=0 and 3x+y+5=0. I need the intersection point of the lines and the equation of the line.

x+y+5=0

Step-by-step explanation:

the intersection of x-2y=0 and 3x+y+5 is (;)

=> the line : x+y+5=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Find intersection of the given lines :

x - 2y = 0 => x = 2y ----------- ( 1 )

3x + y = - 5 -------------------- ( 2 )

Substitute ( 1 ) in ( 2 ) :

                               3x + y = - 5

                               3 ( 2y ) + y = - 5

                                6y + y = - 5

                                  7y = - 5

Substitute y in ( 1 ) :

                            x = 2y

To find the equation of the line passing through ( - 3, 2) and point of intersection :

Standard equation of a line : y = mx + b , where m is the slope, b is the y intercept.

So step 1 : Find slope , m:

Step 2 : Equation of the line :

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
