Question

Which graph represents the solution for the equation 2/3 x - 2 = -5x + 1?

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph is attached in the given figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation, $y = (\frac{2}{3} \times x) - 2$ passes through (0, -2) and (3, 0)

Hence, the above equation will intersect x-axis at (3, 0) and y-axis at (0, -2).

Another equation $y = -5x + 1$ passes through (0, 1) and ($\frac{1}{5}$, 0)

Hence, it intersects x-axis at ($\frac{1}{5}$, 0) and y-axis at (0, 1).
