Solution:
Given Lines are
and
first we write both as
Now, to find intersecting point equate the components of both lines
we have
So we have system of linear equations.
Now we solve them by using matrix method:
so its matrix representation is
applying
applying
applying
By using values of in , we get
Here, is the common point of .
Hence, it is the required intersecting point.
This complete the solution.
