Math Problem Statement
Solution
From the image, you are asked to determine the coordinates of points A and B. The information given includes:
- The equation for line is .
- Lines and are parallel.
- The coordinates of points A and B need to be found.
Steps to solve:
-
Line : The equation is , meaning the slope of this line is 1, and it passes through the point (0, 2).
-
Line : Since is parallel to , it will have the same slope. However, we need more information to find its equation, which can be inferred from the image. Point A lies on this line, so using the coordinates of A (once we calculate them), we can find the equation of line .
-
Line : From the image, appears to be a horizontal line, and it passes through .
For point A:
- Point A lies at the intersection of and . Using the equation and knowing its position, we can substitute the x-coordinate (7) to find the y-coordinate.
For point B:
- Point B lies at the intersection of and , which can be determined by solving the system of equations where has and using the equation for .
I will now calculate these values.
