(0.5, 1.3) is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations are:
As we can see that the given equations are linear equations which are graphed as straight lines on graph. The solution of two equations is the point of their intersection on the graph.
We can plot the graph of both equations using any online or desktop graphing tool.
We have used "Desmos" online graphing calculator to plot the graph of two lines (Picture Attached)
We can see from the graph that the lines intersect at: (0.517, 1.267)
Rounding off both coordinates of point of intersection to nearest tenth we get
(0.5, 1.3)
Hence,
(0.5, 1.3) is the correct answer

Answer:
20 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts are symmetrically located around the x-coordinate of the vertex, so are at
1.5 ± 5/2 = {-1, 4}
Using one of these we can find the unknown parameter "a" in the parabola's equation (in vertex form) ...
0 = a(4 -1.5)² +12.5
0 = 6.25a +12.5 . . . . . simplify
0 = a +2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6.25
-2 = a
Then the standard-form equation of the parabola is ...
y = -2(x -1.5)² +12.5 = -2(x² -3x +2.25) +12.5
y = -2x² +6x +8
This tells us the y-intercept is 8. Then the relevant triangle has a base of 5 units and a height of 8. Its area is given by the formula ...
A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(5)(8) = 20 . . . . units²
