Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution of a system of linear equations is the point of intersection of their graphs because the intersection represents the only x or y values that will satisfy both/all equations. The graph visually shows that the intersection of these equations is the only spot on the graph that all of the equations have in common. This means that only this spot will satisfy all equations. For example, the intersection may be (0,1); this means that for all equations an x value of 0 will always result in the y value of 1. However, an x or y value that satisfies one equation may not satisfy the others if they do not lead to the desired outcome.

, multiple by the reciprocal of the second fraction to get the answer.
Answer:
x-intercept: 2.8 hours
y-intercept: 0.7 . . . . fraction of power remaining
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is in slope-intercept form, so the y-intercept can be read directly: 0.7.
To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x:
0 = -0.25x +0.7
0.25x = 0.7 . . . . . add .25x
x = 2.8 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4 (that is, the reciprocal of 0.25)
The x-intercept is 2.8; the y-intercept is 0.7.
