Question

Lines x − 5 = 0 and y + 3 = 0 intersect each other at point ______.

Options

• (5, 3)

• (5, −3)

• (−5, 3)

• (−5, −3)

Answer 1

Lines x − 5 = 0 and y + 3 = 0 intersect each other at point (5, −3).

Explanation:

The equations of the lines are x − 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5 and y + 3 = 0 ⇒ y = −3. Combining these coordinates yields the point of intersection (5, −3).
