![**Title: Finding the Point of Intersection of Two Lines in R²**
**Problem Statement:**
The goal is to find the point of intersection of the lines defined by the parametric equations:
\[ \mathbf{r_1}(t) = \langle -1, 1 \rangle + t \langle 8, 4 \rangle \]
and
\[ \mathbf{r_2}(s) = \langle 2, 1 \rangle + s \langle 8, 6 \rangle \]
in \(\mathbb{R}^2\).
**Expression for Point of Intersection:**
\[ (x, y) = \left( \text{input box} \right) \]
**Explanation:**
We need to determine the values of \(t\) and \(s\) for which the two parametric equations yield the same coordinates \((x, y)\).
1. **Equation (1) from \(\mathbf{r_1}(t)\):**
\[
x_1(t) = -1 + 8t
\]
\[
y_1(t) = 1 + 4t
\]
2. **Equation (2) from \(\mathbf{r_2}(s)\):**
\[
x_2(s) = 2 + 8s
\]
\[
y_2(s) = 1 + 6s
\]
To find the intersection point, set \(x_1(t) = x_2(s)\) and \(y_1(t) = y_2(s)\):
\[
-1 + 8t = 2 + 8s \tag{1}
\]
\[
1 + 4t = 1 + 6s \tag{2}
\]
Solving these equations will yield the values of \(t\) and \(s\) for which the lines intersect. The corresponding coordinates can then be obtained by substituting \(t\) back into \(\mathbf{r_1}(t)\) or \(\mathbf{r_2}(s)\).
**Submission Box:**
Here, the coordinates of the intersection point can be entered:
\[ (x, y) = \left( \begin{matrix}

\end{matrix} \](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc3d3bee5-0c39-4b7b-a553-642953afa184%2Fd0ec6207-8ba6-4be5-8ef1-589b916e12c5%2F0o5ro2m.png&w=3840&q=75)
