Question 2 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

A student says, "The x-coordinate of the intersection point is a solution to f⁡(x)=g⁡(x) only because these two graphs happen to be straight lines." Is the student correct?

Answer
A
No, this only works when both slopes are positive.
B
No, any intersection point solves f of x is equal to g of x .
C
Yes, but only when the intersection point is above the x -axis.
D
Yes, this only works for linear functions.

Explanation

No. At an intersection, the graphs have the same y-coordinate at the same x-coordinate, so f(x) = g(x) for that x-value. This is true whether the graphs are straight or curved, so the student is incorrect; the correct choice is “No, any intersection point solves f of x is equal to g of x.”
