What is A?

anonymous · Answer

y=1/3x+4

anonymous · Answer

(0,0) only works in one of those equations. That's your answer. Just plug in 0 for x and 0 for  y in each one

anonymous · Answer

If you plug in (0, 0), what are you expected to get?
I say you should plug in 0 for one and solve for the other to see if you get 0.
