Determine the common point of the lines 2x+y-5=0 and -3x+4y-9=0.

To determine the crossing point of the 2 lines, we have to solve the system formed from their equations:


2x+y=5 (1)


-3x+4y=9 (2)


We'll multiply the relation (1) by 3 and the relation (2), by 2, and after that, we'll add (1) to (2). We'll obtain:


6x+3y-6x+8y = 15 + 18


After reducing similar terms, we'll get:


11y = 33


y = 33/11


y=3


We'll substitute y by 3, into the relation (1):


2x+3 = 5


2x = 5-3


2x = 2


x = 1


The crossing point is A (1,3).

The crisis of a drama usually proceeds and leads to the climax.  In Shakespeare's Hamlet , the proof that Claudius is guilty...
