Math Problem Statement

f(x) = -1/2 * x + 4 and y = x

Solution

The image contains two mathematical functions:

  1. f(x)=12x+4f(x) = -\frac{1}{2}x + 4
  2. y=xy = x

Would you like to find the point where these two functions intersect, or is there something specific you'd like to know about them?

Here are some related questions:

  1. How do we solve for the intersection point of f(x)f(x) and yy?
  2. What is the slope and y-intercept of the line represented by f(x)f(x)?
  3. How can we graph the two equations on the same coordinate plane?
  4. What are the transformations applied to the line f(x)=xf(x) = x to get f(x)=12x+4f(x) = -\frac{1}{2}x + 4?
  5. How can we find the area between the two lines over a specific interval?

Tip: When comparing two linear functions, their intersection point occurs where their yy-values are equal, which gives us a system of equations to solve.
