answer options:

a.−1/2x + 3 = 3x − 4

B−1/2x − 3 = −3x + 4
C1/2x + 3 = 3x + 4
D1/2x + 3 = −3x − 4

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   \(\dfrac{-1}{2}x+3=3x-4\)  

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)

\(\dfrac{-1}{2}x-3=-3x+4\)

on taking left hand side

\(\dfrac{-1}{2}x-3\)

when x=2 we get:

\(=\dfrac{-1}{2}\times 2-3\\\\\\=-1-3\\\\\\=-4 eq 2\)

Hence, option: b is incorrect.

c)

\(\dfrac{1}{2}x+3=3x+4\)

on taking left hand side

\(\dfrac{1}{2}x+3\)

when x=2 we get:

\(=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2+3\\\\\\=1+3\\\\\\=4 eq 2\)

Hence, option: c is incorrect.

d)

\(\dfrac{1}{2}x+3=-3x-4\)

on taking left hand side

\(\dfrac{1}{2}x+3\)

when x=2 we get:

\(=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2+3\\\\\\=1+3\\\\\\=4 eq 2\)

Hence, option: d is incorrect.

Hence, we are left with option: a

a)

\(\dfrac{-1}{2}x+3=3x-4\)

on taking left hand side

\(\dfrac{-1}{2}x+3\)

when x=2 we have:

\(=\dfrac{-1}{2}\times 2+3\\\\\\=-1+3\\\\\\=2\)

Also, on taking the right hand side

\(3x-4\)

when x=2 we have:

\(=3\times 2-4\\\\\\=6-4\\\\\\=2\)

Hence, it passes through (2,2)
