First thing you should do is reduce coefficients.
1st equation has all multiples of '2'. Divide by 2
---> x +3y = -6
2nd equation has multiples of 5. Divide by 5.
---> x - y = 2
Now elimination part is easier.
Eliminate 'x' variable by subtracting 2nd equation from 1st.
x + 3y = -6
-(x - y = 2)
----------------------
4y = -8
Solve for 'y'
4y = -8
y = (-8)/4 = -2
Substitute value for 'y' back into 2nd equation:
x - (-2) = 2
x + 2 = 2
x = 0
Solution to system is:
x=0, y =-2
Y intercept is found by having the x value equal 0 (and vise versus for x intercept) so 5y=10 or simplified y=2
Then you have to find the x intercept (2x=10 and or x=5) then it’s just run over rise (2/5)
Answer:
Briggs is planning to make abatch of home made play dough for an art projections
That would be f(x) = 4|x|. Reason is, the bigger the number that's multiplied by |x|, the narrower the graph will be. The opposite is true for the smaller the number, & so f(x) = .5|x| will be wider.
Hope this helps!
