ANSWER
Yes it is very true
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
If the two equations intersect at then this point must satisfy the two equations.
We substitute in to erquation (1)
We now substitute in to erquation (2) also
Since the point satisfy all the two equations, it is true that they intersect at
Okay, let's see...
The problem is asking for a linear equation most likely in the form of y=mx+b
y is another way to say f(x)
<em>m = slope </em>
<em>b = y intercept </em>
Let's start with the y intercept first.
Y intercept means ' When does the line touch (intercept) the y axis.
In this case, if you look at the graph, the line <em>touches </em>the y axis at -1.
-1 will replaces b
To find the slope we are going to take 2 precise points from the graph.
Lets use <em>(0,-1)</em> and <em>(-6,4) </em>
To find the slope, we're going to use
4 - (-1) / -6 - 0
Solve, our slope is 5/-6
That is our m
Our final equation is
