Sure... a good example of that is when you have non-linear expressions in the system, like say for example a linear and a quadratic, like y = 4x and y = x².

recall that for a system of equations, where the graph of both equations intersect, is the solutions, check the picture below.

How do i find the proportionality of r

Paha777 [63]

Since the graph is a linear function, we're going to use the slope formula solve this:

Note I am replacing m with k
$k= \frac{ y_{2}- y_{1} }{ x_{2}- x_{1} }$

Inserting 2 points from the graph, let's use (1,8) and (2,16).

$\frac{16-8}{2-1}

$

Which function has the same y-intercept as the function y equals 2/3 x - 3

aleksley [76]

We have the function $y = \frac{2}{3} x -3$ and we want to find a function that has the same y-intercept than the previous function.

First, let's find the y-intercept by subtituting 0 for 'x'.

$y = \frac{2}{3} (0) -3 = -3$

Now that we found that y-intercept =-3, any lineal function of the type: $y = ax - 3$ will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' can take all the real values.
