you need to find where the lines intersect.... ... so is the point (2, 0) or something else....

anonymous · Answer

They intersect at 2,0

campbell_st · Answer

are you sure..... ?

campbell_st · Answer

remember its (x, y)   

x is horizontal and y is vertical

anonymous · Answer

I'm confused I thought it was when both lines touched and they both touch at 2,0

vocaloid · Answer

think carefully...

(2,0) means go right 2 units and up 0 units

vocaloid · Answer

your graphs intersect but not at (2,0)

anonymous · Answer

oh sorry I meant at 0,2

vocaloid · Answer

right, so going back to the original problem, what do you think the answer is?

anonymous · Answer

I think that the point (2,0) is not the solution because the lines do not intersect at (2,0) but at (0,2)

vocaloid · Answer

that's correct, very good work
