If the two lines 2x+y=0 and y=3 are plotted on a typical xy coordinate grid, at which point will they intersect?

To get the answer, we need to substitute 3 for y in the equation 2x + y = 0.
2x + 3 = 0
2x = -3
x = -3/2

The answer is (-3/2, 3)

If you need more explaination, just give me a comment.

(-1.5,3) Y=3 which is up 3 and a horizontal line and 2x+y=0 can be written as y=-2x so in order to get -1.5 you have to make y=3 cause y=3 and when you do that it should look like 3/-2=-2/-2x so x=-1.5

Given:

A line bisector is a straight line that divides a given line into two equal parts. Thus the following steps are required by Naomi to show that point D is equidistant from points A and C.

BD ⊥ AC (given)

BD = 3 units, and AC = 8 units.

BD is the perpendicular bisector of segment AC (given)

Thus,

<BDA ≅ <BDC (right angles formed by a perpendicular bisector)

AD ≅ DC (equal parts of a bisected line)

AD ≅ DC = 4 units

Thus joining points B to A, and B to C,

BA ≅ BC.

So that applying Pythagoras theorem to ΔABD, we have:

$/hyp/^{2}$ = $Adj 1^{2}$ + $Adj 2^{2}$
