Question

Which point can be found using the vertical line x = –9 and the horizontal line y = 8?

Answer 1

ANSWER

The point is
$(-9,8).$

EXPLANATION
When two nonparallel lines are drawn on the same plane, they will intersect at a unique point. This point represents the solution to the two systems of equations represented by the lines.

The vertical line
$x = - 9$

and the horizontal line
$y = 8$

will intersect at
$(-9,8).$

This is the unique solution to the two equations.
