To do that, you have to solve both equations simultaneously. We can use the substitution method. on this one: - Make y the subject of the formula in one of the two equations - the y found should be replaced in the other equation. - Solve for y in a single equation - Replace the obtained value of y in the equation where you made this the subject, finding x. - That's it! \[y=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x\] \[y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+4\] \[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x=-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+4\] \[2x=4\] \[x=2\] Back to the equation, where I considered to have y as the subject... \[y=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }(2)=3\] The coordinate is (2,3) C.
