The function f(x) is graphed below. Determine whether the degree of the function is even or odd and whether the function itself is even or odd.

Think of it as five or above give it a shove. change the 5 or above to the right to a zero and add one to the number on the left.

So the first thing we do is to multiply the top equation by 3. the reason i want to do this is i notice there will be a 6y on both equations and can possibly add/subtract them. so we get 6y = -3x + 27. adding that and the second equation we get 6x = 27-15 which is 12. divide by 6 and we get 2. ∴ x = 2. substituting 2 into the first equation we get 2y = -2 + 9 which is 7. divide by 2 and we get 7/2. ∴ y = 7/2, x = 2.
