Graph Intersection
1. **State the problem:** We are given two equations:
$$x + y = 4$$
$$y = 2x - 5$$
We need to draw their graphs and find the coordinates of the point satisfying both equations.
2. **Rewrite equations for graphing:**
For $$x + y = 4$$, express $$y$$ as $$y = 4 - x$$.
3. **Select points to graph $$y = 4 - x$$:**
If $$x = 0, y = 4 - 0 = 4$$
If $$x = 4, y = 4 - 4 = 0$$
4. **Select points to graph $$y = 2x - 5$$:**
If $$x = 0, y = 2(0) - 5 = -5$$
If $$x = 5, y = 2(5) - 5 = 10 - 5 = 5$$
5. **Use the scale 2 cm to 1 unit to draw the axes and plot these points:**
Plot points (0,4) and (4,0) for the first line.
Plot points (0,-5) and (5,5) for the second line.
Draw straight lines through these points for each equation.
6. **Find the intersection algebraically to confirm:**
From $$y = 4 - x$$ and $$y = 2x - 5$$, set equal:
$$4 - x = 2x - 5$$
$$4 + 5 = 2x + x$$
$$9 = 3x$$
$$x = 3$$
7. **Find corresponding $$y$$ value:**
$$y = 4 - 3 = 1$$ or $$y = 2(3) - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1$$
8. **Answer:** The coordinates satisfying both equations are:
$$(3, 1)$$
