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)
