Question
Find a number $m$ such that the three lines in the $x y$ -plane given by the equations $y=$ $m x+3, y=4 x+1,$ and $y=5 x+7$ have a common intersection point.
Step 1
This means that the point of intersection of the first two lines should also lie on the third line. Show more…

Equations of Lines
Use algebra to find the point of intersection of the two lines whose equations are provided. Use Example 7 as a guide. $2 x+3 y=7$ and $x+3 y=2$
Find the point(s) of intersection (if any) of the plane and the line. Also, determine whether the line lies in the plane. $$5 x+3 y=17, \quad \frac{x-4}{2}=\frac{y+1}{-3}=\frac{z+2}{5}$$
