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
Using the given information and what we know about linear equations, we will find the sketch below.
<h3>How to sketch a graph?</h3>Here we need to analyze each part separately.
In a coordinate axis where the y-axis represents distance and the x-axis represents time, we will have that:
First, we know that he rides for 30 minutes at a given speed, this will be represented with an increasing linear function.
Then he stops for 20 minutes, this is represented with a horizontal line.
Finally, he returns the motion, but slower than before, so the slope of this line will be smaller than the first one.
So for 0 to 30 we have an increasing linear equation, then for 30 to 50 we have a constant horizontal line, then for 50 to 80 we have another increasing linear equation
The sketch can be seen below.
