y = 3x + 2 and y =4x - 3

for y = 3x + 2

when x = 0

This means to find y put x = 0

y = 3(0) + 2

y = 0 + 2

y = 2

to find x put y = 0

from the equation

y = 3x + 2

0 = 3x + 2

make 3x the subject of the formula

0 - 2 = 3x

-2 = 3x

divide both sides by 3

-2/3 = 3x/3

-2/3 = x

the sloutions for the y = 3x +2 are

(0, 2) and (-2/3, 0)

for the second equation

y = 4x - 3

to find y let x = 0

y = 4(0) - 3

y = 0 - 3

y = -3

to find x let y = 0

0 = 4x - 3

make 4x the subject of the formula

0 + 3 = 4x

3 = 4x

divide both sides by 4

3/4 = 4x / 4

x = 3/4

The solutions fro y = 4x - 3

(0, -3) and (3/4, 0)
