For each function, determine if it intersects or is parallel to the line y=−1.5x. If it intersects the line, find the intersection point. y=0.5x−6

the intersection point is (2.4, -4.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) we have the function:

y = 0.5*x - 6.

First we want to know if this function intersects the line y´ = -1.5*x

Now, first we can recall that two lines are parallel only if the slope is the same for both lines, here we can see that the slopes are different, so the lines are not parallel, which means that the lines must intersect at some point.

Now, to find the intersection point we asumme y = y´ and want to find the value of x.

0.5*x - 6 = -1.5*x

(0.5 + 1.5)*x - 6 = 0

2.5*x = 6

x = 6/2.5 = 2.4

Now, we evaluate one of the functions in this value of x.

y = 0.5*2.4 - 6 = -4.8

So the intersection point is (2.4, -4.8)
