Question

What is the intercept points with these two lines. Y=250x and y=200x + 325

Answer 1

The two lines intercept at the point (6.5, 1625)

Here, we want to get the meeting point of the two lines

To get this, we simply equate the 2 equations since we have y on both sides

Thus, we have it as;

$\begin{gathered} 250x\text{ = 200x + 325} \\ 250x-200x\text{ = 325} \\ 50x\text{ = 325} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{325}{50} \\ x\text{ = 6.5} \end{gathered}$

To get y-coordinate point, we simply substitute the value of x into any of the equations

Thus, we have this as;

$y\text{ = 250(6.5) = 1625}$
