Solution

Let's solve the given equations step-by-step.

  1. First Equation: 12(2y4x19)=0\frac{1}{2}(2y - 4x - 19) = 0 Simplify the equation: 2y4x19=02y - 4x - 19 = 0 Rearrange to get yy in terms of xx: 2y=4x+192y = 4x + 19 y=2x+192y = 2x + \frac{19}{2} So, the first equation in standard form is: y=2x+9.5y = 2x + 9.5

  2. Second Equation: y=x21y = \frac{x}{2} - 1

  3. Plotting these equations on the graph:

    • Equation 1: y=2x+9.5y = 2x + 9.5 (cyan line)
    • Equation 2: y=x21y = \frac{x}{2} - 1 (purple line)

    From the graph provided, we need to identify the points of intersection for these two lines to find the solution.

  4. Graph Interpretation:

    • The equation y2x=9.5y - 2x = 9.5 is given in the graph as the cyan line.
    • The equation y=x21y = \frac{x}{2} - 1 is a line with a slope of 0.5 and y-intercept -1.

    To find the exact point of intersection algebraically, we set the equations equal to each other: 2x+9.5=x212x + 9.5 = \frac{x}{2} - 1 Solve for xx: 2x+9.5=x212x + 9.5 = \frac{x}{2} - 1 4x+19=x24x + 19 = x - 2 4xx=214x - x = -21 3x=213x = -21 x=7x = -7 Substitute x=7x = -7 into one of the equations to find yy: y=721=721=92y = \frac{-7}{2} - 1 = -\frac{7}{2} - 1 = -\frac{9}{2}

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is: (x,y)=(7,92)(x, y) = \left( -7, -\frac{9}{2} \right)
