Math Problem Statement

Determine the coordinates of points A and B from the given graph, where g2: y = x + 2 and lines g2 and g3 are parallel.

Solution

From the image, you are asked to determine the coordinates of points A and B. The information given includes:

  • The equation for line g2g_2 is y=x+2y = x + 2.
  • Lines g2g_2 and g3g_3 are parallel.
  • The coordinates of points A and B need to be found.

Steps to solve:

  1. Line g2g_2: The equation is y=x+2y = x + 2, meaning the slope of this line is 1, and it passes through the point (0, 2).

  2. Line g3g_3: Since g3g_3 is parallel to g2g_2, it will have the same slope. However, we need more information to find its equation, which can be inferred from the image. Point A lies on this line, so using the coordinates of A (once we calculate them), we can find the equation of line g3g_3.

  3. Line g1g_1: From the image, g1g_1 appears to be a horizontal line, and it passes through y=8y = 8.

For point A:

  • Point A lies at the intersection of g2g_2 and g3g_3. Using the equation y=x+2y = x + 2 and knowing its position, we can substitute the x-coordinate (7) to find the y-coordinate.

For point B:

  • Point B lies at the intersection of g1g_1 and g2g_2, which can be determined by solving the system of equations where g1g_1 has y=8y = 8 and using the equation for g2g_2.

I will now calculate these values.
