Consider the two straight lines whose equations are x=4.5x=4.5 and y=−3y=-3. (i) Draw a neat sketch showing both lines together with the coordinate axes on the same Cartesian plane and label their point of intersection as PP. (ii) Write the coordinates of PP. (iii) For each line, write the coordinates of the point where it meets (a) the xx-axis and (b) the yy-axis. (iv) State in which quadrant the point PP lies.
