2x + 4y = 12



Answer :

Answer: From the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (2, 2).

Now, let's examine the equations:

1) x + 2y = 8 2) 2x + 4y = 12

We can rewrite equation (2) as: 2x + 4y = 12 ÷ 2 x + 2y = 6

Notice that equation (1) and the rewritten equation (2) have the same slope (2) but different y-intercepts (8 and 6, respectively).

From this, we can determine that:

The slopes of the two lines are equal (2).

The y-intercepts of the two lines are different (8 and 6).
