Answer : Suppose the given two lines intersect at a point P(x1, y1). Then, (x1, y1) satisfies each of the given equations.
x – y = 1 …(i)
2x – 3y + 1 = 0 …(ii)
Now, we find the point of intersection of eq. (i) and (ii) Multiply the eq. (i) by 2, we get
2x – 2y = 2
or 2x – 2y – 2 = 0 …(iii)
On subtracting eq. (iii) from (ii), we get 2x – 3y + 1 – 2x + 2y + 2 = 0
⇒ -y + 3 = 0
⇒ y = 3
Putting the value of y in eq. (i), we get x – 3 = 1
⇒ x = 1 +
⇒ x = 4
Hence, the point of intersection P(x1, y1) is (4, 3)
