Question

Can someone please answer

Answer 1

Hello!

We can graph by finding critical points - intersections, y-intercepts, x-intercepts.

Find the intersection point by setting the two equations equal to each other:

-4x + 3 = x - 2

Subtract x from both sides:

-5x + 3 = - 2

Subtract 3 from both sides:

-5x = -5

Divide both sides by -5:

-5x/(-5) = -5/(-5)

x = 1

Find the y-value of intersection by plugging in x = 1 into an equation:

y = 1 - 2 = -1

Intersection at (1, -1)

Find the x and y intercepts of each equation:

y = -4x + 3

Set x to 0 to find the y-intercept:

y = -4(0) + 3 = 3

Set y to 0 to find the x-intercept:

0 = -4x + 3

-3 = -4x

x = 3/4

Therefore, this equation has a y-intercept at (0, 3) and and x-intercept at (3/4, 0).

y = x - 2

Set x to 0 to find the y-intercept:

y = 0 - 2 = -2

Set y to 0 to find the x-intercept:

0 = x - 2

x = 2

Therefore, this equation has a y-intercept at (0, -2) and and x-intercept at (2, 0).

Graph the two equations with the solved critical points:

y = -4x + 3

--> (1, -1)

--> (0, 3)

--> (3/4, 0)

y = x - 2

--> (1, -1)

--> (0, -2)

--> (2, 0)
