Answer:
Explanation:
To solve the equation 4x = 26 using graphs, he should graph two functions in the same coordinate plane. The intersection of the two graphs is the solution of the equation.
The functions to graph are f(x) = 4x, and g(x) = 26.
The graph of f(x) = 4x is a line that goes through the origin (0,0) and has slope 4.
Some of the points to graph that line are:
x f(x) = 4x
0 4(0) = 0 → (0,0)
2 4(2) = 8 → (2,8)
4 4(4) = 16 → (4,16)
6 4(6) = 24 → (4, 24)
With those points you can do an excellent graph of f(x) = 4x
The graph of g(x) = 26 is horizontal line (parallel to the y-axis) that passes through the point (0, 26), which is the y -intercept.
You have to extend both graphs until they intersect each other. The x-coordinate of the intersection point is the solution of the function.
