The answer is "a. -1/2x + 3 = 3x − 4".
Just plug 2 in for x for each expression, and when both expressions in an answer choice's equation are equal to 2 (when x = 2), you have your answer.
The answer is "a. -1/2x + 3 = 3x − 4".

Answer:

The equation which the graph of the system of equation solve is:

         Option: a   [tex]\dfrac{-1}{2}x+3=3x-4[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

On the graph there is two linear functions intersecting at (2, 2 )

This means that both the equations i.e. the equation on left and right hand side of the equality must pass through (2,2)

i.e. when x=2 the value of the expression must be 2.

b)

[tex]\dfrac{-1}{2}x-3=-3x+4[/tex]

on taking left hand side

[tex]\dfrac{-1}{2}x-3[/tex]

when x=2 we get:

[tex]=\dfrac{-1}{2}\times 2-3\\\\\\=-1-3\\\\\\=-4\neq 2[/tex]

Hence, option: b is incorrect.

c)

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}x+3=3x+4[/tex]

on taking left hand side

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}x+3[/tex]

when x=2 we get:

[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2+3\\\\\\=1+3\\\\\\=4\neq 2[/tex]

Hence, option: c is incorrect.

d)

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}x+3=-3x-4[/tex]

on taking left hand side

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}x+3[/tex]

when x=2 we get:

[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2+3\\\\\\=1+3\\\\\\=4\neq 2[/tex]

Hence, option: d is incorrect.

Hence, we are left with option: a

a)

[tex]\dfrac{-1}{2}x+3=3x-4[/tex]

on taking left hand side

[tex]\dfrac{-1}{2}x+3[/tex]

when x=2 we have:

[tex]=\dfrac{-1}{2}\times 2+3\\\\\\=-1+3\\\\\\=2[/tex]

Also, on taking the right hand side

[tex]3x-4[/tex]

when x=2 we have:

[tex]=3\times 2-4\\\\\\=6-4\\\\\\=2[/tex]

Hence, it passes through (2,2)
