the graph graphed is y=1/2x

so
y=1/2x and y=-x+6
y=y so
1/2x=-x+6
times 2 both sides
x=-2x+12
add 2x both sides
3x=12
x=4

sub back
y=1/2x
y=1/2(4)
y=2

(4,2) is the solution

1st let/s find the equation of the graph shown. It has te form of y₁ =mx since it oases by the origin. Moreover we notice that the slope m = rise/run = 1/2. hence the equation IS y₁ = (1/2)x.
To find the solution of y₁ = 1/2 x and y= -x + 6, let's y=y₁

-x + 6 = 1/2 x ↔ -2x +12 = x ↔ -3x= -12 and x = 4. For x = 4 , y =2.

And the solution is the intersection point between y and y₁ which is nothing but the solution or te coordinate of this point that is (4,2)
