Question

Find the intersection point for the following linear functions. f(x) = 2x + 3 g(x) = -4x − 27

Answer 1

Answer:

(- 5, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate f(x) and g(x), that is

2x + 3 = - 4x - 27 ( add 4x to both sides )

6x + 3 = - 27 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

6x = - 30 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = - 5

Substitute x = - 5 into either of the 2 functions for y- coordinate

Substituting into f(x)

f(- 5) = 2(- 5) + 3 = - 10 + 3 = - 7

Thus point of intersection = (- 5, - 7 )
