PL I NEED THIS NOW

A pair of equations is shown below:

y = 3x − 5
y = 6x − 8

If the two equations are graphed, at what point will the lines representing the two equations intersect? Explain your answer.

Answer:

Explanation:

first since the equations are both equal to y set them equal to each other.

3x-5=6x-8

solve for x

subtract 3x from both sides

-5 = 3x-8

add 8 to both sides

3x=3

divide both sides by 3

x = 1

the x coordinate is 1.

substitute 1 in either equation to get the y

y = 3-5

or

y= 6-8

y = -2

(1,-2)
