Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: First, look at the intercepts for lines A and B.

Line A has an intercept of 4

Line B has an intercept of 12

Then choose two points on line a that perfectly go through without being a decimal on line A. I'll choose 0,4 and 1,6. The subtract to find the slope of the line, you will format this as y/x.

(x1-x2) 0-1=-1 so -1 is your denominator.

(y1-y2) 4-6=-2 so -2 is your numerator

That leaves us with the slope of -2/-1 or simply, just 2.

You know that slope intercept for is y=mx+b so the equation would be:

y=2x+4 for line A.

Now do the same thing for line B.

(0,12), (3,10)

0-3= -3 so y/-3

12-10 is 2 so 2/-3 or just -2/3

You put that into slope intercept form and that would be:

y=-2/3x+12 for line B

To Find the point of intersect just find where they're intersecting so (3,10) is the solution to the system of equations.
