Equation 1 (Blue)

m1 (Slope)1
b1 (Intercept)2
y=x+2y = x + 2

Equation 2 (Purple)

m2 (Slope)-0.5
b2 (Intercept)-1
y=−0.5x−1y = -0.5x - 1

Determinant Test:

D=m2−m1=−1.50D = m_2 - m_1 = -1.50

System Status:

Consistent Independent (Unique Solution)

(x,y)=(−2.00,0.00)(x, y) = (-2.00, 0.00)
(-2.0, 0.0)xy
