Question

Solve the system by graphing. Select the solution(s).
y = x + 2
y = 0.5(x + 2)

Answer 1

Part 1) The solution is the point (-2,0)

Part 2) The solutions are the points (-2,0) and (0,2)

Explanation:

Part 1

we have

`y=x+2` -----> equation A

`y=0.5(x+2)` ---->
`y=0.5x+1` ---> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (-2,0)

see the attached figure N 1

Part 2

we have

`y=x+2` -----> equation A

`y=0.5(x+2)^2` ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system are the intersection points both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solutions are the points (-2,0) and (0,2)
