OpenStudy (campbell_st):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They intersect at 2,0

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

are you sure..... ?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

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

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

your graphs intersect but not at (2,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry I meant at 0,2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 (vocaloid):

that's correct, very good work

Thank you for helping me. I over thought the problem lol
