Lesson 1
Intersection of Two Lines
Lines on the plane can either intersect or not. If two lines intersect, then there is a
common point between them. That common point is where the two lines intersect. In a
plane, this point has two coordinates, the x and y coordinates. The coordinates of the
intersection can be solved algebraically. In second year algebra, you are taught how to
solve systems of linear equations. That knowledge will help you a lot in understanding this
lesson. Since every equation of the line assumes the general form ax + by + c = 0, to get
the intersection of two lines, you solve for the value of x and y common to both equations.
To solve for the value of x and y algebraically, there are methods that can be used.
The following steps can help you in solving systems of linear equations.
1. Eliminate one variable by using
a. addition or subtraction
b. finding the value of one variable in terms of the other variable
2. Solve for the value of the other variable
3. Substitute the computed value of one variable on either of the two equations to
solve for the value of the remaining variable.
Examples:
1. Find the point of intersection of the lines whose equations are 3x – y =10 and 5x + y =14.
Solution:
To find the intersection of the two lines, solve the system by eliminating one
variable through addition. Add the similar terms of the first equation to that of the second
equation.
Equation 1 3x – y = 10
Equation 2 5x + y = 14
Add 8x + 0 = 24
8x = 24
x = 3

3
Then replace x with 3 in either Equation 1 0r Equation 2
3(3) – y = 10
9 - y = 10
- y = -1
y = 1
Therefore the point of intersection of the two lines is (3, -1)
2. Find the point of intersection of the two lines whose equations are x + 2y = 4 and
3x + 5y = -21.
Solution:
Another method of eliminating one variable is through substitution. You get the value
of one variable in terms of the other variable.
Equation 1 x + 2y = 4
Equation 2 3x – 5y = -21
Using Equation 1, solve for x in terms of y
x + 2y = 4
x = 4 – 2y
Using Equation 2, replace x with 4 – 2y
3(4 – 2y) - 5y = -21
12 – 6y – 5y = - 21
- 11y = - 21 – 12
- 11y = - 33
y = 3
Then replace y with 3 on either Equation 1 or Equation 2 to solve for the value of x.
x+ 2(3) = 4
x + 6 = 4
x = -2
So the intersection of the two lines is the point whose coordinates are (-2, 3).
3. At what point do the lines 3x + 2y = 12 and 4x – 3y = -1 intersect?

4
Solution.
To eliminate a variable in this example, first find equivalent equations with equal but
opposite coefficient in x or in y by multiplying one or both equations by a number factor.
Equation 1 3x + 2y = 12
3(3x + 2y) = 12 9x + 6y = 36
2(4x – 3y) = -1 8x – 6y = -2
Add Equation 1 and 2 17x + 0 = 34
7x = 34
x = 2
Then replace x with 2 in either Equation 1 or 2
3(2) + 2y = 12
6 + 2y = 12
2y = 6
y = 3
Therefore, the point of intersection is (2, 3).
Example 4. Find the point of intersection of the lines y = 2x – 2 and y – 2x = 1.
Solution: Using any of the previous methods, solve the system of equations.
Equation 1 y = 2x – 2
Equation 2 y – 2x = 1
Using Equation 1, solve for y in terms of x
y = 2x - 2
Replace y by 2x - 2 in the second equation.
(2x – 2) – 2x = 1
2x - 2 – 2x = 1
-2 = 1 , this is a false statement.
Solving the system led to a false statement. Therefore the system is inconsistent and
has no solution . So the lines do not intersect. There is a way of determining whether the
two lines intersect or not. The following theorem can be used to determine if two lines
intersect or not.

Theorem: If two non-vertical lines intersect, then their slopes are not equal.
This theorem can be verified as follows.

Let A, B and C be three distinct points on a plane. By line determination postulate,
line AB and line AC can be constructed with A as a common point or point of intersection.
Get the slopes of the two lines.

For line AC, the slope

Since the numerators and denominators in the two fractions are different, then the
two slopes are not equal. Thus
21 mm ≠
The converse of the theorem, “ If two non-vertical lines have different slopes, then the
lines are intersecting,” is also true.
5. Without graphing, show that 5x – y = 7 and 3x + 2y = 4 are intersecting lines.
Solution: Transform each equation to slope-intercept form.

y = 5x - 7

Lesson 2
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
In the previous lesson, there was an example in which the solution of the system of
equations led to a false statement. This showed that the two lines do not intersect. In a
plane, if two lines do not intersect, then they are parallel.
Let us consider the given in example 4.
Equation 1 y = 2x - 2
If we graph the two lines on the same set of axes, they will look like this.
The graphs showed that the two lines are parallel. Without graphing, you can also
determine if the lines are parallel or if they intersect. The following theorem can be used to
prove that two lines are parallel.
Theorem: If two non vertical lines are parallel, then the slopes are equal. The converse of
this theorem is also true.
Converse theorem: If two lines which are not coincident have the same slope, then the
lines are parallel.

8
Consider the given lines above. To prove that they are parallel, their slopes must be
equal, transform the equations into y-form or slope-intercept form.
Equation 1 y = 2x - 2
The equation is already in y - form.
slope(m1) = -2
Again, transform to slop-intercept form
y = -2x + 1
slope (m2) = -2
You can see that m1 = m2 . Therefore, the two lines are parallel.
The slope of horizontal line is zero (0), thus all horizontal lines are parallel to each
other. Slope of vertical line is undefined and so all vertical lines are also parallel to each
other.
In a plane, some lines are parallel, and others are intersecting. Intersecting lines
may be perpendicular or not. The next theorem will help you determine if the pair of lines is
perpendicular or not.
Theorem: If two non vertical lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are negative
reciprocals.
Examples:
1. Show that the lines whose equations are 3x + y = 4 and x – 3y = 7 are perpendicular.
Solution:
Transform to slope-intercept form
y = -3x + 4
slope (m1) = -3
Equation 2 x – 3y = 7
Transform to slope-intercept form
- 3y = -x + 7

By comparing the computed slopes, you can determine the relationship of a line with
the other lines.
Since the slopes of line 1 and line 2 are negative reciprocals, then line 1 is
perpendicular to line 2. Line 1 and line 3 are also perpendicular to each other since their
slopes are negative reciprocals. The slopes of line 2 and line 3 are equal so line 2 is
parallel to line 3. The slopes of line 4 and line 5 are also negative reciprocals so these lines
are also perpendicular. On the other hand, other pairs of lines like line 4 and line 6, line 5
and line 6 are just intersecting line since their slopes are not equal. The summary of the
relationship between each pair of lines is given below.

Therefore we can conclude that ABCD is a parallelogram since the opposite sides
are parallel.
4. Prove that the following points are vertices of a right triangle. A(-3, 5), B(6, 1)
and C(-7, -4).
Solution:
Since one angle of a right triangle is right, then two sides must be perpendicular and
you have to find the slopes of the three sides to prove this.

From the computed slopes of the three sides AB, BC and AC, it is clear that AB is
perpendicular to AC since their slopes are negative reciprocals. Hence we can conclude
that BAC∠ is a right angle. It only proved that ∆ABC is a right triangle. If we sketch the
graph on the Cartesian plane, it will look like this.

Solution:
The two legs of a right triangle are perpendicular at the vertex of the right angle.
Their slopes are the negative reciprocal of each other. Since the equation of one of its legs
is 2x – 3y + 11 = 0, then we have to compute for the slope first.
Get the slope of the given leg.

In this quadrilateral, the opposite sides are AB and CD. Likewise, BC and AD are
also opposite sides. Note that the computed slopes of the opposite sides are equal, thus
the opposite sides are parallel. Therefore by definition, ABCD is a parallelogram.

From the computed values, LA and PN have equal slopes, hence they are parallel.
On the other hand, the slopes of PL and AN are not equal, so they are not parallel.
Therefore, PLAN is not a parallelogram.
C. To verify if the vertices were that of a right triangle, show that the slopes of a pair of
adjacent sides are negative reciprocals.
1. Compute for the slopes of the sides EA, AR and ER.

From the computed values, it is clear that the slopes of AR and ER are negative
reciprocals, hence the two sides are perpendicular. Therefore, ∆EAR is a right triangle.

Since the slopes of two sides, AC and CE are negative reciprocals, then AC and CE
are perpendicular. Hence ∆ACE is a right triangle because two of the sides form a right
angle in between them.

Based on the computation, no two slopes are negative reciprocals, hence no sides
are perpendicular. Therefore, ∆PEN is not a right triangle.
