QuestionFind the intersection points of the functions y=3x+15y=3x+15 and y=33xy=3-3x.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The first function is y=3x+15y=3x+15 . The second function is y=33xy=3-3x
3. We are looking for the point(s) of intersection, which are the values of xx and yy where the two functions are equal.

STEP 2

To find the point of intersection, we need to set the two functions equal to each other and solve for xx.
x+15=xx+15 =-x

STEP 3

To isolate xx, we can start by combining like terms. Add 3x3x to both sides of the equation.
3x+3x+15=33x+3x3x +3x +15 =3 -3x +3x

STEP 4

implify the equation.
6x+15=36x +15 =3

STEP 5

Next, subtract15 from both sides to isolate the term with xx.
x+1515=315x +15 -15 =3 -15

STEP 6

implify the equation.
6x=126x = -12

STEP 7

Finally, divide both sides by6 to solve for xx.
x=12/6x = -12 /6

STEP 8

implify to find the value of xx.
x=2x = -2

STEP 9

Now that we have the xx value, we can substitute it into either of the original equations to solve for yy. Let's substitute x=2x = -2 into the first equation y=3x+15y =3x +15.
y=3(2)+15y =3(-2) +15

STEP 10

implify to find the value of yy.
y=6+15=9y = -6 +15 =9The point of intersection of the two functions is (2,9)(-2,9).
