Answer:

(-1/2. 0)

Explanation:

Given

  • y = 2x + 1 [correct form of writing a linear equation!]
  • y = 4x + 2

Solving for x

  • Equate both values of y to find the value of x
  • ⇒ 2x + 1 = 4x + 2
  • ⇒ 2x = -1
  • ⇒ x = -1/2

Solving for y

  • Plug the values of x into one of the equations
  • y = 4(-1/2) + 2
  • y = -2 + 2 = 0

Solution

  • (x, y)
  • (-1/2. 0)
