Answer:
(4,11)
Step-by-step explanation:
y=2x+3
y=5x-9
the first equation is equal to the second equation so
2x+3=5x-9
put like terms together
2x-5x= -9-3
-3x= -12
divide both sides by -3
.•.x=4
now, use the value of x to find the value of y like this:
y=2x+3 (x=4)
y=2(4)+3
y=8+3
y=11
therefore, the two lines intersect at the point (4,11)
I would say direct because the more gallons of gasoline used, the bigger the cost.
