The document discusses two equations, y = -x + 4 and y = 2x - 8, and checks whether they intersect at the point (4, 0). It shows that substituting 4 for x and 0 for y in both equations makes the left and right sides equal, confirming the intersection. A graph is also provided visually showing the two lines intersecting at the point (4, 0), validating Jane's statement.

Given 𝑦 = −𝑥 + 4; 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 8 → (1) To check whether the equations intersect at (4, 0): Substitute the value in above equation. STEP 2: On substituting we get: 𝒚 = −𝟒 + 𝟒 = 𝟎; 𝒚 = 𝟐(𝟒) − 𝟖 = 𝟎 → (𝟐) Now according to jane statement −𝑥 + 4 = 2𝑥 − 8 intersects at (4,0) Since LHS = RHS of eq→ (2), which is zero, hence Janes statement is right, the two equations indeed intersect at (4, 0). STEP 3: Graphically we can see this as shown below:
From above graph it is clear that both the equations have a common intersection point at (4, 0), Hence Jane statement is correct.
