The straight line L1 passes through the points with coordinates (4, 6) and (12, 2) The straight line L2 passes through the origin and has gradient -3. The lines L1 and L2 intersect at point P. Find the coordinates of P.

Find equation of line 1 in terms of x. eg y=mx+c - Using gradient and points. Equation of line 2 is just y=-3xSo -3x=mx+c of line 1Find xSub into one equation to find the y point.Done
