Point of Intersection Formula

The point of intersection formula is used to find the point of intersection of the two lines, that is the meeting point of two lines. These two lines can be represented by the equation a1x+b1y+c1=0 and a2x+b2y+c2=0, respectively. It is possible to find point of intersection of three or more lines. By solving these two equations, we can find the solution for the point of intersection of two lines.

Point of Intersection of Two Lines Formula

Consider two straight lines

a1x+b1y+c1=0 and a2x+b2y+c2=0

which are intersecting at point (x, y). So, we have to find a line intersection formula to find these points of the intersection (x, y). 

The formula for the point of intersection of the two lines will be as follows:

  x= (b1c2-b2c1)/(a1b2-a2b1)

  y=(c1a2-c2a1)/(a1b2-a2b1)

(x, y) = ((b1c2-b2c1)/(a1b2-a2b1), (c1a2-c2a1)/(a1b2-a2b1))

So, this is the point of intersection formula of two lines when intersecting at one point.
