1) The y- axis is where x = 0, so the line "y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis when x = 0. You plug in "x = 0" into the equation, and get y = 0 -3, so y = -3. That means the line " y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis ar (0, -3)
2) If there are 2 parallel lines, then there is no solution, because the definition of parallel lines is, " 2 lines in the same plane, that never meet." That makes the solution inconsistent.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Composite Function</u>
Given f(x) and g(x) as real functions, the composite function
is defined as:

It can be found by substituting g into f.
We are given the functions:
f(x) = -x + 3
g(x) = -x -1
Find

Removing parentheses:
