Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem is in German and can be translated to:
"Determine the coordinates of the intersection point of the lines and analytically. The graph of has a slope and intersects the y-axis at point . The graph of passes through the points and . Draw both lines in a coordinate system."
Let's solve this step-by-step:
1. Equation of Line
Given:
- Slope
- y-intercept
The equation of line in slope-intercept form is:
2. Equation of Line
Given points:
Since both points have the same y-coordinate, line is a horizontal line. The equation is:
3. Finding the Intersection Point
To find the intersection, set the equations equal to each other:
Solve for : Multiply by :
Now, substitute into the equation of either line to find :
4. Intersection Point
Thus, the coordinates of the intersection point are:
