Question

Which graph represents the solution for the equation
2/3 x - 2 = -5x + 1?

Answer 1

The graph is attached in the given figure.

Explanation:

The equation,
`y = ((2)/(3) * x) - 2` passes through (0, -2) and (3, 0)

Hence, the above equation will intersect x-axis at (3, 0) and y-axis at (0, -2).

Another equation
`y = -5x + 1` passes through (0, 1) and (
`(1)/(5)`, 0)

Hence, it intersects x-axis at (
`(1)/(5)`, 0) and y-axis at (0, 1).
