Ariyonne claims that (3, 6) is the point of intersection of the lines y = 4x − 2 and y = + 5. Is she correct? How do you know?
IF the point (3,6) solves BOTH of the equations, it is a common point to both lines.....substitute and see if it does!
incorrect.
the point of intersection is ( 1.75,5 )
4x-2=5
4x=7
x=1.75
this is how to find x .
to find y substitute the value of x in any equation.
y = 4(1.75)-2
y = 5
Note......if we set the "y's" equal, then we have
4x - 2 = 5
Then.......the resulting x value for the solution of this equation is the x coordinate for the intersection point.......so.........add 2 to each side
4x = 7 divide both sides by 4
x = 7/4 so........ (3, 6) cannot possibly be the intersection point
And as xvxvxv pointed out, the intersection point is actually (7/4, 5) or ( 1.75, 5)
Here's the graph of the intersection point to confirm this: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/sl2lhr8m1w
