It's difficult to provide a visual representation in text form.
To help visualize this, you can plot the two equations on a coordinate grid and find the point where they intersect. The intersection point will be the zoo's entrance.
You can plot the points by substituting different x-values into the equations to find the corresponding y-values. Then plot those coordinate points on a graph. The point where the two lines intersect will be the zoo's entrance.
Mr. Coleman is mapping the boundaries of a zoo on a coordinate grid. The zoo’s headquarters are located at the origin. The equations shown below represent two boundaries of the zoo.
y = −2x – 5
−2x + 4y = 12
The zoo’s entrance is located at the intersection of these two boundaries. Which coordinate grid correctly shows the two boundaries and the zoo’s entrance?
