Question

The equation y= 1/2 x +4 is graphed below.which equation would intersect this line at (4, 6)?

Answer 1

Answer:

we have the equation y = (1/2)*x + 4.

now, any equation that passes through the point (4, 6) will intersect this line, so if we have an equation f(x), we must see if:

f(4) = 6.

if f(4) = 6, then f(x) intersects the equation y = (1/2)*x + 4 in the point (4, 6).

If we want to construct f(x), an easy example can be:

f(x) = y = k*x.

such that:

6 = k*4

k = 6/4 = 3/2.

then the function

f(x) = y= (3/2)*x intersects the equation  y = (1/2)*x + 4 in the point (4, 6)
