Which graph shows the solution to the following system?
Which graph shows the solution to the following system?
solve
y=1/4x-2
y=7/4x+4
since both equal y, set equalto each other
1/4x-2=7/4x+4
minus 1/4x from both sides
-2=6/4x+4
minus 4 from both sides
-6=6/4x
times 4 both sides
-24=6x
divide by 6
-4=x
sub back
y=1/4x-2
y=1/4(-4)-2
y=-1-2
y=-3
(-4,-3) is soluiton
starting at center go left 4 units and down 3 units
B is answer
we have
\(y=\frac{1}{4} x-2\) -----> equation \(1\)
\(y=\frac{7}{4} x+4\) -----> equation \(2\)
Resolve the system
we know that
the solution of the system is the intersection of both graphs
Multiply by \(-1\) equation \(1\)
\(-y=-\frac{1}{4} x+2\)
Adds equation \(1\) and equation \(2\)
\(-y=-\frac{1}{4} x+2\)
\(y=\frac{7}{4} x+4\\ ------\)
\(0=\frac{6}{4}x +6\\ \\ 0=6x+24\\ 6x=-24\\ x=-4\)
find the value of y
\(y=\frac{7}{4}*(-4)+4\\ \\ y=-7+4\\ y=-3\)
the solution is the point \((-4,-3)\)
therefore
the answer is
The solution is the graph in the attached figure
