Based on the graph, what are the approximate solutions to the equation −3x + 8 = (0.25)x?

Let

in this problem

f(x)=g(x)

so

using a graph tool

the solution is the intersection of both graphs

see the attached figure

the solutions are

x=-1.89

x=2.66

Ifound this on google “that means that the graph of a function with direct variation has these features: it is a straight line: because the slope is the ratio y/x = k. it passes through the origin (0,0): because y = kx = k (0) = 0.” i hope this you for what your looking for
