Sol.

STEP 1: The given equations are as follows:


 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.
