There are two lines in the x-y plane. The points A(-2,5) and B(3,2) lie on line one (L1), C(-1,-2) and D(4,1) lie on line two (L2). Find whether the two lines intersect and the coordinates of the intersection if they do.

We first want to find the equations of the lines. The general equation of a line is: (y-y₁)=m(x-x₁) where (x₁,y₁) are the coordinates of a point on the line and...
