Question

Y=x-4 and y=4x+2 graph solution of the systems

Answer 1

(-2,-6)

Explanation:

we can solve this system of equations with the substitution method because y is already by itself.

since they are both equal to y, we can set both equations equal to each other.

4x+2=x-4

subtract 2 from both sides

4x=x-6

subtract x from both sides

3x=-6

divide both sides by 3

x = -2

now that we know x, we can plug this value into one of the original equations and solve for y.

y=-2-4

y=-6

so on a graph, these two equations will intersect at the point (-2,-6)
